The points P, Q, R, S, T, U, A and B on the number line are such that, TR = RS = SU and AP = PQ = QB. Name the rational numbers represented by P, Q, R and S.

Here,

Distance between U and T is 1 unit


And,


It is divided into three equal parts.


That are:


TR = RS = SU =


Thus,


R =


=


=


S =


=


=


In the same way,


AB = 1 unit


And,


It is divided into three equal parts.


P =


=


=


Q=


=
