Question

The number $\frac{-12}{7}$ on the number line will be represented between which integers?

• A. 0 and 1
• B. -2 and -3
• C. -1 and - 2
• D. 2 and 3

Answer 1

The correct option is C -1 and - 2


Draw a number line with 1 unit = $\frac{1}{7}$ .
So, from number line we can see that $\frac{-12}{7}$ lies to the left of $\frac{-7}{7}$=-1 and $\frac{-12}{7}$ lies to the right of $\frac{-14}{7}$ = -2.
Therefore $\frac{-12}{7}$ lies between -1 and -2 .
