Question

Can someone help on how to model it on the number line?

Answer 1

$-3-2 \frac{1}{3}=-5\frac{1}{3}$

Solution:

Given expression is $-3-2 \frac{1}{3}$.

To solve this expression, first change mixed fraction into improper fraction.

$-3-2 \frac{1}{3}=-3- \frac{(2\times 3) + 1}{3}$

             $=-3- \frac{7}{3}$

To make the denominator same, multiply and divide the denominator by 3.

             $=\frac{-9}{3} - \frac{7}{3}$

             $=\frac{-9-7}{3}$

             $=\frac{-16}{3}$

Now, change improper fraction into mixed fraction.

             $=-5\frac{1}{3}$

$-3-2 \frac{1}{3}=-5\frac{1}{3}$

Now, locate $-5\frac{1}{3}$ on the number line.

It is lies between –5 and –6.
