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
<h3>P = - 5/3</h3>or
<h3>P = - 1.6666...</h3><em>just looking at the figure already conclude that P < - 1 and P > - 2</em>
<em>so </em><em>{P | - 2 < P < - 1}</em>
<em>or just P < - 1</em>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the above mixed numbers to improper fractions through this simple approach: 3 × 10 + 1 /10 = 31/10. Similarly, 2 × 6 + 5 /6 = 17/6
Take the LCM of the denominators and simplify. LCM = 60. Thus, 60/10 = 6; 6 × 31 = 186. Also, 60/6 =10; 10×17 =170 all divide by 60:
Common factors between the numerator and denominator is 4, therefore 16/4 = 4 and 60/4 = 15.
Therefore the answer is 4/15 in simplest form.
