Answer 2

Answer:

(B) -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine the rational number which is one tick mark to the left of  $-\dfrac{3}{4}$ .

If the number is to the left, it must be less than $-\dfrac{3}{4}$ .

Since there are 4 equal spaces between each number, the numbers between -1 and 0 are:

$-1,-\dfrac{3}{4},-\dfrac{2}{4},-\dfrac{1}{4},0$

We can then see that the number one tick to the left of  $-\dfrac{3}{4}$ is -1.

The correct option is B.
