69 - 14 = 55
all the way from 14 to 69 would be 55 units
3/5 of the way would be 3*55/5 = 3*11 = 33 units
14 + 33 = 47 units
47 should be 3/5 of the way to 69.
how would we figure?
47 - 14 = 33
69 - 1`4 = 55
33/55 = 3/5
to visualize this, take smaller numbers.
take 5 units away.
assume 10 to 15
that's 5 units away
3/5 * 5 = 3 units
that means that 10 + 3 = 13 would be 3/5 of the way to 15.
your units are:
***
1/5 2/5 3/5 4/5 5/5
10
11 * * * * *
12 * * * *
13 * * *
14 * *
15 *
If you move 5 units you will be there.
If you move 3 units you will have moved 3 out of 5 which makes you 3/5 there.
your answer would be C.) which is 33 units.
