Question

Which rational number is one tick mark to the left of Negative three-fourths on the number line below? A number line going from negative 2 to positive 2 in increments of 1. There are 4 equal spaces between each number. Negative 1 and one-fourth –1 Negative StartFraction 2 Over 4 EndFraction 0

Answer 1

B?????

Explanation:

Answer 2

(B) -1

Explanation:

We want to determine the rational number which is one tick mark to the left of
`-(3)/(4)` .

If the number is to the left, it must be less than
`-(3)/(4)` .

Since there are 4 equal spaces between each number, the numbers between -1 and 0 are:

`-1,-(3)/(4),-(2)/(4),-(1)/(4),0`

We can then see that the number one tick to the left of
`-(3)/(4)` is -1.

The correct option is B.
