Answer 1

To be able to plot the points, first, we have to convert the given mixed numbers to a sum and write that sum in a convenient form.

Converting the given mixed numbers, we get:

`2(1)/(2)=2+(1)/(2)\text{.}`

Since the distance between the numbers in the given number line is graded in eights, we can rewrite the above number as:

`2+(1)/(2)=2+(4)/(8)\text{.}`

Now,

`-1(3)/(4)=-(1+(3)/(4))=-(1+(6)/(8)).`

Therefore, the last point must be 6/8 to the left of -1.
