Math Problem Statement

Graph -1/4 on the number line.

Solution

To graph 14-\frac{1}{4} on the number line, follow these steps:

  1. Notice that the interval between 1-1 and 00 is divided into four equal parts, and each tick mark represents one-fourth.
  2. Since we are graphing 14-\frac{1}{4}, it will be one tick mark to the left of 0 (which is closer to 0 than to 1-1).

On the provided number line, place a point on the first tick to the left of 0 to indicate 14-\frac{1}{4}.
