Question

Which letter comes $\frac{2}{5}$ of the way among A and J?

Answer 1

Determine the letter comes $\frac{2}{5}$ of the way among A and J.

The total number of letters from A to J is 10.

So,

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{5}of10=\frac{2}{5}\times 10 \\ \Rightarrow =2\times 2 \\ \Rightarrow =4 \end{gathered}$$

The $4^{th}$ letter from A to J is D.

Hence, the$4^{th}$letter that is D comes $\frac{2}{5}$ of the way among A and J.
