Question

Add 1 1/3+ (−5/6) using the number line. Select the location on the number line to plot the sum.

Answer 1

We have to add the given expression $1\frac{1}{3}+(-\frac{5}{6})$

= $\frac{4}{3}+(-\frac{5}{6})$

= $\frac{4}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

L.C.M. of 3 and 6 is 6.

Therefore,

= $\frac{(8-5)}{6}$

= $\frac{3}{6}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

Refer to the attached image for the location of  $\frac{1}{2}$ on the number line.

We can clearly observe that $\frac{1}{2}$ = 0.5 is exactly between 0 and 1, where 1 is expressed as $\frac{2}{2}$.
