B.) On the vertical number line, -1
`(1)/(4)` is located above -1
`(3)/(4)`
C.) On the vertical number line, -
`(4)/(5)` is located above
`(4)/(5)`.
D.) On the vertical number line, 3
`(2)/(7)` is located below -2
`(3)/(7)`

Answer 1

A.) 7/2 is greater than the 5/2, so it is located above 5/2. Hence, the statement is False.

B.) -1 1/4 is lower in magnitude with -ve sign so it would be above in the vertical line. So, the statement is True.

C.) -4/5 is obviously in the bottom, 'cause of the negative sign.

D.) 3 2/7 is in the above 'cause of it's positive sign as compared to the other one

In short, Your Answer would be: Option B

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

A. False - 7/2 is more than 5/2 and the number line gets bigger as it goes up so 7/2 is above 5/2

B. True - the numbers get bigger as they go down on the negative side of the number line so -1 1/4 is above -1 3/4

C. and D are both False because the positive numbers are above the negative numbers

Hope that helps
