On the number line, between which two consecutive integers will (\frac{-11}{5}) lie?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (-3) and (-2)

The direct answer is option A, between \(-3\) and \(-2\). First convert the fraction: \(-\frac{11}{5}=-2.2\). On the number line, \(-3<-2.2<-2\), so the number lies between the consecutive integers \(-3\) and \(-2\). Option A is correct. Option B, \(-2 ext{ and }-1\), is wrong because \(-2.2 ext{ is less than }-2\), not greater. Option C, 2 and 3, describes positive numbers, while the given fraction is negative. Option D, \(-1 ext{ and }0\), is also too far to the right. A common mistake is thinking that 2.2 lies between 2 and 3 and forgetting that the minus sign reverses the location. On a negative number line, the more negative number is farther left.
