Question

Point p is shown on the number line below which of the following values is best represented by Point p

Answer 1

you where right -25 is correct

Answer 2

The value which best represents the point P is:

Option: C

C. -25

Explanation:

We know that the number lie to the left of -20.

This means that the number is smaller than -20 and hence is a negative number.

Now, from -30 to -20 the number line is divided into 5 parts.

i.e.

-30 , -28 , -26, -24 , -22 , -20

i.e. the first part to the left of -20 contains the number between -20 and -22

second part to the left of -20 contains the number between -22 and -24.

Third part to the left of -20 contains the number between -24 and -26

and so on.

From the graph we see that the Point P lie in the middle of -24 and -26.

Hence, the Point P is the value: -25
