Number Line A, well the first number line.
The open circle shows us that -5 is NOT in the solution. All the numbers greater than -5 ( x > -5) are in the solution.

1/2 is equivalent to 2/4 because,
2(1/2) = 2/4
So as you can see if you multiply the numerator(top) and the denominator(bottom) by the same number, you get an equivalent fraction! In my example you can see that I multiplied both by 2.
In math, "of" almost always means "times".
"The property" is 7/8 acre.
So "1/4 of the property" means "1/4 times 7/8 acre".
1/4 x 7/8 = (1 x 7) / (4 x 8)
That's 7/32 .
Mr. Lopez hasn't plowed up anything yet, but his plan is to plow up 7/32 acre for his garden.
