Question 1 - Think and Reflect (Page 51) Try and represent 8/5 and −7/4 on a number line. Let’s do this one by one Representing 𝟖/𝟓 on number line In 8/5, Numerator > Denomintor So, 𝟖/𝟓>𝟏 ∴ We make number line from 0 to 2 Since denominator is 5 ∴ We divide number line between 0 & 1 into 5 equal parts. Representing (−𝟕)/𝟒 on number line (−𝟕)/𝟒 Since (−7)/4 = –1 3/4 So, (−𝟕)/𝟒 < –1 Let’s draw number line from –2 to 0 Since in (−7)/4 , denominator is 4 We divide line between –1 & 0 into 4 equal parts.
