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,
