Answer 1

Representation of $-\frac{5}{6}$ in the number line

• Divide the line between $0$ and$-1$ to $6$ parts, $-1$ and$-2$ to $6$parts, and so on.
• Since the numerator is less than the denominator, dividing $0$ to $-1$into$6$ parts is sufficient.
• The rational number$-\frac{5}{6}$ lies at a distance of $5$ points, away from $0$, towards the negative number line
