Answer 2

Answer:

You can plot a rational number on a number line by drawing the number line.

Question example: $\frac{-2}5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First find out $\frac{2}{5}$ will lay in between which two numbers. So, you will have to divide 5÷2.

• We just have to see if it comes 0•something. If it is 1•somthing, 2•something how will it work?
• 0•something means it's between 0 and 1.
• 1•something means between 1 and between 2.

• 2•something means 2 and between 3.

2) Now the answer u get when you divide 5 and 2 is 0•4 it means the number is between 0 and 1 .

• What is 1?
• -2 is a negative number so it's not 0 and 1, it lays in between 0 and -1.

3)Draw a number line, leave space between 0 and -1 because we will have to plot the numbers.

• We know $\frac{-2}{5}$ will lay in between 0 and -1

4) Now see the denominator, in this question it is 5, so you will have to divide 0 and -1 (on the number) into 5 parts.

5) from 0 starts $\frac{-1}{5}$, $\frac{-2}{5}$,$\frac{-3}{5}$,$\frac{-4}{5}$ and -1  you can take it as $\frac{-5}{5}$ (but don't mark it)

6) We had to plot $\frac{-2}{5}$, we see $\frac{-2}{5}$ marked in between 0 and -1 so mark them or circle that number, that's the answer
