HOW DO I COMPLETE THE NUMBER LINE:
-82 ___ ___ ___ ___ -70
THERE ARE 4 NUMBERS BETWEEN -82 AND -70
-----
Range: 12
# of gaps: 5
----
width of gaps 12/5 = 2 2/5
-----
Left limit number: -82
1st number from left -82+ (2 2/5) = -79 3/5
2nd number from left -79 3/5 + (2 2/5) = -77 1/5
3rd number from left -77 1/5 + 2 2/5 = -74 4/5
4th number from left -74 4/5 + (2 2/5) = -72 2/5
Right limit number: -72 2/5 + (2 2/5) = -70
