Which option correctly describes ( \frac{-13}{4} ) on the number line?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It lies between (-4) and (-3)

To locate \(\frac{-13}{4}\), divide 13 by 4 and retain the negative sign. Since \(13\div4=3.25\), the number is \(-3.25\). On the number line, \(-3.25\) lies to the left of \(-3\) but to the right of \(-4\). Therefore it lies between \(-4\) and \(-3\), making option A correct.

The negative sign is important: negative numbers appear on the left side of zero, and a more negative number is farther left. We can also compare using fourths: \(-4=-16/4\) and \(-3=-12/4\), while \(-13/4\) is between them. It is not between \(-3\) and \(-2\), nor in the positive intervals.
