Question #7078c

Answer 1

( 5/8, 1 5/16)

Explanation:

The problems is more about dividing and adding fractions than geometry.

The first movement is along the y axis so the second is along the x axis and gives a value of 1/2

The third movement is along the y axis again and has a value of 1/4

The fourth movement is along the x axis and has a value of1/8

The fifth movement is along the y axis and has a value of 1/16

To find the x co ordinate add the second and fourth movements.

{`1/2 + 1/8 = 5/8` }(`1/2 xx 4/4 = 4/8`) (`4/8 + 1/8 = 5/8`)

To find the y co ordinate add the first third and fifth stages.

`1 + 1/4 + 1/16 = 1 5/16`

`1/4 xx 4/4 = 4/16`

`4/16 + 1/16 = 5/16`

So the co ordinates are ( 5/8, 1 5/16)

note the x co ordinate is written first and the y second.
