Line segment AB with length a is divided by points P and Q into three line segments: AP , PQ, and QB , such that AP = 2PQ=2QB. Find:

A)the distance between point A and the midpoints of the segments the segment QB
B) the distance between the midpoints of segments AP and QB.

I don't get what this question wants from me can you please describe the proces and the steps for this question
Thanks
:)

Suppose QB has length x
Then PQ = x
AP = 2x
So, a = 4x
A) a/4 and 7a/8
B) 5a/8
