Use a number line to add 5/4+(-2/4)

2 answers

To add 5/4 and -2/4 using a number line, we can start by plotting a point at 0 on the number line for reference.

Then, we can move 5/4 units to the right from 0. This brings us to the point representing 5/4 on the number line.

Next, we need to add -2/4, which means moving 2/4 units to the left from the point we just reached. This brings us to the point representing 3/4 on the number line.

Therefore, 5/4 + (-2/4) = 3/4.
