Question

The point on the number line shows the opposite of BLANK, or the opposite of the opposite of BLANK

Answer 1

The point on the line, -1/3, shows the opposite of 1/3, or the opposite of the opposite of -1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

The point on the number line shows the opposite of $\frac{1}{3}$, or the opposite of the opposite of $-\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the graph is shown that each whole number is divided in three parts, each part is $\frac{1}{3}$.

So, the points is on the first division in the negative side. The point is on $-\frac{1}{3}$, which is the opposite number of $\frac{1}{3}$, or the opposite of the opposite of $-\frac{1}{3}$.

Remember that the opposite number means the same number but with the opposite sign. For example -1 is the opposite of 1. Now, when we say "the opposite of the opposite", we are using a negative connector twice, which is equivalent to positive. For example, 2 is the opposite of the opposite of 2.
