Use a number line to add 5/4+(−2/4). (1 point)
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.
To add 5/4 and (-2/4) using a number line, follow these steps:
1. Start by marking 0 on the number line.
2. To represent 5/4, move 5 units to the right from 0.
3. Now, to add (-2/4), move 2 units to the left from the point representing 5/4.
4. The point where you end up is the sum of 5/4 and (-2/4) on the number line.
Note: The answer will depend on the scale and units used on the number line.
