Partition horizontal and vertical line segments into equal proportions on a number line.
The core standards covered in this lesson
G.GPE.B.6 — Find the point on a directed line segment between two given points that partitions the segment in a given ratio.
The foundational standards covered in this lesson
6.RP.A.1 — Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, "The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak." "For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes."
6.RP.A.2 — Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. Expectations for unit rates in this grade are limited to non-complex fractions. For example, "This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar." "We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger."
6.RP.A.3 — Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.

A $${32}$$-foot long piece of wood is cut to divide the wood into a ratio of $${3:5}$$. Which of the following locations could you cut the wood to create this ratio? (Choose all that apply.)
A. $${12}$$ feet from one end of the wood
B. $${20}$$ feet from one end of the wood
C. $${10{2\over3}}$$ feet from each end of the wood
D. Divide the wood into $${6{2\over5}}$$ feet pieces
E. $$3$$ feet from one end of the wood
Partitioning a Segment by Jennifer Wilson is made available on Easing the Hurry Syndrome. Accessed March 12, 2017, 5:16 p.m..
$$A$$ is at $${-4}$$ and $$B$$ is at $${10}$$. Find the point $$T$$, so that $$T$$ partitions the segment $$\overline {AB}$$ into a $${3:4}$$ ratio.
$$C$$ is at $${(1,-10)}$$ and $$R$$ is at $${(1,-2)}$$.
a. Find the point $$L$$, so that $$L$$ partitions the segment into a $${1:2}$$ ratio. b. Write a formula for partitioning a line segment into a certain ratio.

Point $$C$$ at $${-1}$$ marks $${{2\over3}}$$ of the distance between point $$A$$ at $${-4}$$ and point $$D$$. What is the location of point $$D$$?
Point $$L$$ is at $$7$$ and point $$R$$ is at $${-5}$$. Where are two locations where point $$Q$$ is located if it is $${{3\over4}}$$ of the distance between $$L$$ and $$R$$? How far is each of these points from $$R$$?
