Question

The point on the number line shows the opposite of BLANK, or the opposite of the opposite of BLANK

Answer 1

the point on the line, -1/3, shows the opposite of 1/3, or the opposite of the opposite of -1/3

Answer 2

The point on the number line shows the opposite of
`(1)/(3)`, or the opposite of the opposite of
`-(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

In the graph is shown that each whole number is divided in three parts, each part is
`(1)/(3)`.

So, the points is on the first division in the negative side. The point is on
`-(1)/(3)`, which is the opposite number of
`(1)/(3)`, or the opposite of the opposite of
`-(1)/(3)`.

Remember that the opposite number means the same number but with the opposite sign. For example -1 is the opposite of 1. Now, when we say "the opposite of the opposite", we are using a negative connector twice, which is equivalent to positive. For example, 2 is the opposite of the opposite of 2.
