Question

I need help on part A and B. On part A “which point on the number line best represents - 6/8”. On part B which point on the number line best represents 15/12

Answer 1

Part A: B, Point B

Part B: D, Point D

Explanation:

to find -6/8 on a number line, convert it to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator, in which you will get -0.75.

-0.75 is smaller than -1, but greater than -1/2 which in its decimal form is -0.5.

to find 15/12 on a number line, you can simplify the fraction to 5/4 using a LCM and then divide the numerator by the denominator. or, you can just divide the numerator by the denominator without simplifying. as a decimal, 15/12 is 1.25.

1.25 is greater than 1, and smaller than 3/2 which is equal to 1.5 as a decimal
