Yes it can, it has to be a fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
![3 + ( - 2) \ast6 \\ = 3 + ( - 2 \times 6) \\ = 3 + ( - 12) \\ = 3 - 12 = - 9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%20%2B%20%28%20-%202%29%20%5Cast6%20%5C%5C%20%20%3D%203%20%2B%20%28%20-%202%20%5Ctimes%206%29%20%5C%5C%20%20%3D%203%20%2B%20%28%20-%2012%29%20%5C%5C%20%20%3D%203%20-%2012%20%3D%20%20-%209)
So I drew a number line , & I placed point e at 1 1/4 . The correct answer will be B . It couldn't be A because if point e was 1/4 to the left of 1 , point e will be located at 3/4 . But because it ask to put point e at 1 1/4 , you would look for 1 & just move up 1/4 .
