how to represent a rational number -8/3 on a number line?
on the no. line, divide the difference between two consecutive nos. into 3 equal parts.
like ,-1 , , , 0, , , 1, , , 2 and so on
now -8/3 = -2 2/3
so we take the second part between -2 and -3
like let the no. here be x
-3,x, ,-2 , , ,1 and so on
x is -8/3
