I'm trying to graph -5/3rds and -9/4ths on a number line.
\n" ); document.write( "(-5/3) is -(1 2/3)
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a line.
\n" ); document.write( "Put 0 someplace on the line and -1 ,-2,-3,...
\n" ); document.write( "To the left of 0.
\n" ); document.write( "(-5/3) is 1 and 2/3 to the left of 0
\n" ); document.write( "That puts it more than one to the left of zero.
\n" ); document.write( "That means it is between -1 and -2.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(-9/4) = -(2 1/4)
\n" ); document.write( "That puts it more than 2 to the left of zero.
\n" ); document.write( "That means it is between -3 and -2.
