The number of equal sections such that we divide a directed line segment into a 7 : 10 ratio is:
17
We know that if a directed line segment is divided into m:n sections then the total number of equal sections in that line segment is:
m+n
( Since we have m parts and n parts of one line )
Here we have to divide a line segment into a ratio of:
7:10
This means that m=7 and n=10
Hence, the number of sections in the line segment is:
7+10=17
