Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Pardon my confusion, but is that negative 4 and 1/2 or negative 4 times 1/2?
If it is negative 4 and 1/2, then you could just mark -4 and -5 on the number line and put the solid dot half way between them. Essentially you'd be marking -4.5 on the number line. If you wanted a more nuanced answer to that:
-4 and 1/2 = -(4 + 1/2) = -8/2 -1/2 = -9/2
If it is negative 4 times 1/2, then:
-4×1/2 = -4/2 = -2
So you would mark the solid dot wherever you place -2 on that number line. And it's "less than or equal to" for both so the arrow goes left.
