Question

Which gives the correct values for points A, B, C, and D?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Points on a Numeric Line

The numeric line shown in the figure has four points A, B, C, and D. It's clear that each marked division of the line has a value of 1/4 units and all four points are below the reference zero, thus all are negative.

Point A is clearly on the -2 mark, thus

A=-2

Point B is one mark above A, thus it's located at:

$B=-2+\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{7}{4}=-1\frac{3}{4}$

$B=-1\frac{3}{4}$

Point C is one mark below -1, thus:

$C=-1-\frac{1}{4}=-1\frac{1}{4}$

Finally, point D is one mark below 0:

$D=-\frac{1}{4}$

The correct answer is: A
