Respuesta :

Answer: choice D) minus 1 and 2 over 4
(which is the same as writing [tex]-1 \frac{2}{4}[/tex] or writing -1 & 2/4)

-----------------------------

The point P is exactly halfway between 1 and 2. So it's at the point 1&1/2 or 1&2/4
1/2 = 2/4

Flip the point from positive to negative and you get the final answer to be -1 & 2/4
