Question

Study the number line given below. The distance between -1 and - 2 is divided into 6 equal parts. Find the rational number represented by D. *​

Answer 1

Answer:

D = $\frac{-5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ 1 unit is divided into 6 parts

∴ Each small unit = 1/6

-1 = (-6)/6

A = (-7)/6

B = (-8)/6 = (-4)/3

C = (-9)/6 = (-3)/2

D = (-10)/6 = (-5)/3

∴ We know that D denotes $\frac{-5}{3}$

∴ D = $\frac{-5}{3}$
