Use a number line to add 5/4+(−2/4).(1 point

1 answer

To add 5/4 + (-2/4) using a number line, we start by marking 0 on the number line.

Then, we move 5/4 units to the right from 0, which brings us to the point 5/4.

Next, we need to add -2/4, which means we need to move 2/4 units to the left from 5/4.

Since 2/4 is equivalent to 1/2, we move 1/2 units to the left from 5/4, which brings us to the point 3/4.

So, 5/4 + (-2/4) is equal to 3/4.
