Question

Which of the following statements could be used to describe the location of point P, shown on the number line below?

Answer 1

Greetings from Brasil...

Observing the line of the problem we can see that each division represents -1/3. From zero to - 1 we have 3 divisions, then - 1/3 for each division.

From scratch, P is the fifth division, so

P = (- 1/3) x 5

P = - 5/3

or

P = - 1.6666...

just looking at the figure already conclude that P < - 1 and P > - 2

so  {P | - 2 < P < - 1}

or just P < - 1

Answer 2

I would say 2.5 becasue there are two lines between the -2 and -1 so it would be half. SO my awnser is 2.5

i hope this helped you

Have a good day

if it is wrong tell me
