Question

Subtract using the number line.

Answer 1

The answer to this would be 6/7

Becuase there is to negatives right beside each other the symbol would become addition, leaving you with 5/7 + 1/7

When you add the numerators you get 6 and you leave the denominator as 7 so you have 6/7

Answer 2

The required location is shown in the figure.

Explanation:

Consider the provided numbers.

`(5)/(7) -(-(1)/(7) )`

We need to subtract using the number line.

The above expression can be written as:

`(5)/(7) +(1)/(7)`

First locate the point
`(5)/(7)` then move it
`(1)/(7)` unit right as shown in the figure.

Therefore,

`(5)/(7) +(1)/(7)=(6)/(7)`

Hence the required answer is 6/7.
