Question

Which rational number is one tick mark to the right of Negative Star tFraction 6 Over 4 End Fraction 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 one and three-fourths

Negative 1 and one-fourth

1 and one-fourth

1 and three-fourths

Answer 1

Answer:

Negative 1 and one-fourth

Step-by-step explanation:

Number line :

Range = - 2 to + 2

Increment = 1

Number of spaces between each number = 4

Therefore the distance between each tick mark is : Increment / number of spaces = 1/4

Hence,

1 tick mark to the right of - 6/4 = - 1 1/2

-6/4 + 1/4

(-6 + 1) / 4 = - 5 / 4

-5/4 = - 1 1/4
