Answer: [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given picture , we have given a number line .
The length of line segment AQ = [tex]|4-0|=4[/tex]
The length of line segment WQ = [tex]|4-(-8)|=|4+8|=12[/tex]
Now, when we divide the length of [tex]\overline{AQ}[/tex] by [tex]\overline{WQ}[/tex], we get
[tex]=\dfrac{\text{length of }\overline{AQ}}{\text{length of }\overline{WQ}}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{12}=\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
Hence, the solution is [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
