Answer:

  (3.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the given segment is 4.6 -1.0 = 3.6. The first portion of the division will be 2/(2+1) = 2/3 of that length, or (2/3)(3.6) = 2.4.

Then the coordinates of point R are ...

  (1.0) +(2.4) = (3.4)

Additional comment

We cannot tell if your coordinates are supposed to be Cartesian coordinates (1, 0) and (4, 6), or if they are points on a number line. As it happens, it makes no difference. The final answer is interpreted the same way the given coordinate points are interpreted: 3.4 on a number line or (3, 4) on a plane.
