if you had a number line from 1 to 0 than zoom in in between 1 and 0 and look at it in fifths you can start a 3/5 and go back 2 to get 1/5

Answer:

-1

Explanation:

Let us divide
(3)/(5)


-(3)/(5)=-0.6

Let us divide
(2)/(5)


(2)/(5)=0.4

When we subtract them we get


-(3)/(5)-(2)/(5)\\ =-0.6-0.4\\ =-1

In the number line one small division is 0.1 and one big division is 1 unit.

Hence, the final point on the number line will be -1
