Question
Represent the following numbers on the number line.
$-2\frac{5}{6}$
$-2\frac{5}{6}$

Answer
$-2\frac{5}{6}$
Draw a line and take a point $O$ on it.
Let it represent $0.$
Now, From $O$, take $OA, AB, BC$ on the left of $D$ representing integers $-1, -2, -3$ respectively,
Divide $C$ into $6$ equal parts and take $5$ parts so that $\text{BP}=\frac{5}{6}$
Then,
$\text{OP}=-\Big(2+\frac{5}{6}\Big)=-2\frac{5}{6}$ as shown on the number line given below,
