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.
