Answer:
-1/6 and 1 1/6
I included an image showing the points to select, in red and the point we start at, in blue.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to get the numbers they tell us (2/3 & 1/2) to have the same denominators as the numbers on the number line before we can start.
1/2 is just the simplified form of 3/6 and 2/3 is just the simplified form of 4/6.
So 1/2 is actually 3/6 on the number line.
Now we need to find the numbers that are 2/3 (or 4/6) unit away from 3/6.
Count 4 units to the right and 4 to the left of 3/6 to get the numbers we are looking for.
These numbers are -1/6 and 1 1/6
I hope this helps!!

Answer:
4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the height of the tower when finished.
We have been given that Priya takes a break when the tower is 2 and 1/2 feet tall, which is 5/8 of the height of the tower she wants to build.
This means that 5/8 of x equals 2 and 1/2. Let us represent this information in an equation.
5/8*x=2 and 1/2
Let us convert our given mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
5/8*x=5/2
Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 8/5.
8/5*5/8*x=5/2*8/5
x=8/2
x=4
Answer:
