(i) 7/4
Divide the line between the whole numbers into 4 parts. i.e., divide the line between 0 and 1 to 4 parts, 1 and 2 to 4 parts and so on.
Thus, the rational number 7/4 lies at a distance of 7 points away from 0 towards positive number line.
(ii) -5/6
Divide the line between the integers into 4 parts. i.e., divide the line between 0 and -1 to 6 parts, -1 and -2 to 6 parts and so on. Here since the numerator is less than denominator, dividing 0 to -1 into 6 part is sufficient.
Thus, the rational number -5/6 lies at a distance of 5 points, away from 0, towards negative number line.
