Question

Match the number with the correct label. 0 <——|——|——|——|—-> -2/3 -1/3 0/3 1/3Label | Number————|———— A. -0.2 B. -2/8 C. -3/7

Answer 1

To correctly match the points to the options, we should first convert the fractions on the line to decimals.

$\begin{gathered} -\frac{1}{3}\text{ is the same as -0.33} \\ -\frac{2}{3}\text{ is the same as -0.67} \end{gathered}$

The points -2/8 and -3,7 in decimals are:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-2}{8}\text{ = -0.25} \\ \frac{-3}{7}\text{ = -0.43} \end{gathered}$

When we compare the points on the line to the options, we have:

$\begin{gathered} a\text{ : }\frac{-3}{7} \\ b\text{ : -}\frac{2}{8} \\ c\text{ : -0.2} \end{gathered}$

Answers:

a : -3/7

b : -2/8

c : -0.2
