Question 243139
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:

<pre>
                                       ***   
              1/5          2/5         3/5         4/5         5/5

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.
