Answer 2

Answer:

-25/7 = - 3 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

• In order to represent rational numbers on the number line, we draw a line and mark a point on it to represent the rational number zero. The positive rational numbers are represented on the right side of 0 and the negative rational numbers are represented on the left side of 0.

The representation of rational numbers can be classified into two different types.

The rational number may be in a proper fraction or improper fraction.

1. If it is a proper fraction, the numerator value is less than the denominator value, and hence the given rational number should be less than 1 and greater than zero, and we can easily represent the given rational number on the number line.
2. If it is an improper fraction, the numerator value is greater than the denominator value, and hence the given rational number should be greater than 1. So, in this case, first, convert the given improper fraction into a mixed fraction.

• Draw a number line.
• As the number is a negative number so it will be on the left of zero. The number − 25 7 = − 3 4/7  lies between  
• Divide the line segment between -3 and -4 into 7 parts(7 is the denominator here).
