On a number line, we start at 0 and move 5/4 units to the right (since it's positive) and then subtract 2/4 units (since it's negative).
Starting at 0, we move 5/4 units to the right which brings us to the point 5/4. Then, we subtract 2/4 units, which means moving to the left. So, we move 2/4 units to the left which takes us to the point 3/4.
Therefore, 5/4 + (-2/4) equals 3/4 on the number line.
Use a number line to add 5/4+(−2/4). (1 point)
