Question

In the given image, the rational number that is represented by the red arrow is .

• A. $-\frac{3}{5}$
• B. $\frac{-7}{5}$
• C. $-\frac{2}{5}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{-7}{5}$

In the given number line, the integers are divided into 5 divisions between them.
$\text{So, each division represent}\frac{1}{5}.$

$\therefore \text{The red arrow represents}-1\frac{2}{5}$
$\text{as it is 2 divisions away from -1.}$
$\text{So, red arrow represents}-1\frac{2}{5}=\frac{-7}{5}$.
