Which point on the number line could represent Negative 2 and one-fourth? A number line going from negative 5 to positive 5. Point A is between negative 4 and negative 3, point B is between negative 3 and negative 2, point C is between negative 2 and negative 1, point D is between negative 1 and 0. A B C Dm ​

Answer :

Answer:

Point B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take your number line from -5 to +5

The point on the number line is -2 1/4

Point A is between -4 and -3, Point B is between -3 and -2, Point C is between -2 and -1, and Point D is between -1 and 0. Because -2 is not between -4 and -3 or -1 and 0, it has to be either Point B or C. Since -2 has a fraction of 1/4, it is  between Point B. It would be Point C if it was -1 1/4 and not -2 1/4. Let me show you on the number line (It is not to scale, sorry haha)
