In equilateral triangle ABC, M is the midpoint of AB and N is the midpoint of BC. The lines AN and CM intersect at point Q. Find the ratio AQ : AN.

 

I can visualize the triangle, but how do I find the ratio?

Theorem of the medians of a triangle:  they are concurrent at a point that is 2/3rds of the distance from a vertex to the middle of the opposite side.

Can you take it from here?

So the answer's 2/3?

Am I understanding you?
