Question

Which point on the number line shows the graph of -5/4? Answer options: C, A, H, G

Answer 1

C because -5/4 is equal to 1.25

Answer 2

ANSWER

point C

EXPLANATION.

$- \frac{5}{4} = - 1.25$

-1.25 is less than -1 but greater than negative -2.

On the number line, -1.25 is closer to -1 than to -2.

From the graph, point C is between -2 and -1 but closer to -1.

Therefore

$- \frac{5}{4}$

is represented by point C on the number line .
