Points A, B, C, D, E, F and G are on a number line such that B, C, D, E and F divide segment AG into 6 equal pieces. If A is at 13 and G is at 59, what is the sum of the numbers at B, C, D, E and F?

If A is at 13 and G is at 59......46 equal intervals separate them....and these are broken into 6 equal parts. Thus each of these parts span 46/6 = 23/3 integers.

 

And the sum of the numbers at B,C, D, E and F is given by

 

13(5) + (23/3)[(5)(6)/2]=  180
