Question
Represent the following numbers on the number line. $-2\frac{7}{8}$
✓
Answer
$-2\frac{7}{8}$
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 $O$ representing integers $-1, -2, -3$ respectively,
Divide $BC$ into $8$ equal parts and take $7$ parts.
Then,
$\text{BP}=\frac{7}{8}$
$\therefore\text{OP}=-\Big(2+\frac{7}{8}\Big)=-2\frac{7}{8}$ as shown on the number line given below,
