Question

Identify x on the number line in the given figure.

• A. $-\frac{6}{4}$
• B. $-\frac{7}{4}$
• C. $-\frac{9}{4}$
• D. $-\frac{5}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $-\frac{7}{4}$


From the number line we can say that, x lies between -1 and -2 and is Less than -1 and greater than -2
There are four parts between – 1 and -2, and x lies at the third part from the right of the -1.
Hence, x = $-1\frac{3}{4}=(-\frac{7}{4})$
