Question

Match the number with the correct label. 0 <——|——|——|——|—-> -2/3 -1/3 0/3 1/3Label | Number————|———— A. -0.2 B. -2/8 C. -3/7

Answer 1

To correctly match the points to the options, we should first convert the fractions on the line to decimals.

`\begin{gathered} -(1)/(3)\text{ is the same as -0.33} \\ -(2)/(3)\text{ is the same as -0.67} \end{gathered}`

The points -2/8 and -3,7 in decimals are:

`\begin{gathered} (-2)/(8)\text{ = -0.25} \\ (-3)/(7)\text{ = -0.43} \end{gathered}`

When we compare the points on the line to the options, we have:

`\begin{gathered} a\text{ : }(-3)/(7) \\ b\text{ : -}(2)/(8) \\ c\text{ : -0.2} \end{gathered}`

Answers:

a : -3/7

b : -2/8

c : -0.2
