Question

Help please

Match each point with one of the following rational number:

A=-5/16,B=-9/16,C=-0.7,D=-0.4

A=-0.4,B=-0.7,C=-5/16,D=9/16

A=9/16,B=-5/16,C=-0.4,D=-0.7

A=-0.7,B=-9/16,C=-0.4,D=-5/16

Answer 1

Because none of the points on the number line are above 0, we know that the points will be negative.
This eliminates the second and third choices, as they contain positive numbers.
The first point, A, is a number less than -0.5 or -1/2
The first choice matches A with -5/16, which is less than -0.5 or -1/2
Therefore, the fourth choice must be the correct answer.
