Answer:
Total number of congruent sections/parts = 7
[tex] k = \frac{3}{7} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that partitions directed segment AB such that AP : PB = 3 : 4, this implies that:
There are 7 parts/congruent sections that AB has been divided into.
Also, point P, partitions AB in the ratio 3:4.
Therefore, there are a total of 7 congruent sections/parts.
Value of k:
Value of k = numerator of the original ratio ÷ sum of numerator and denominator of the original ratio
[tex] k = \frac{3}{3 + 4} [/tex]
[tex] k = \frac{3}{7} [/tex]
