Match each point with one of the following rational number: a=-5/16,b=-9/16,c=-0.7,d=-0.4 a=-0.4,b=-0.7,c=-5/16,d=9/16 a=9/16,b=-5/16,c=-0.4,d=-0.7 a=-0.7,b=-9/16,c=-0.4,d=-5/16

The correct option is Option D) A=-0.7,B=-9/16,C=-0.4,D=-5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided number line.

From the number line we can observed that:

1) A, B, C and D lies between -1 and 0.

2) Point A and B lies between -1 and -0.5

3) Point C and D lies between -0.5 and 0

Therefore, the value of A and B must have a negative value lying between -1 and -0.5

Also, the value of C and D must have a negative value lying between -0.5 and 0.

Now consider the provided options.

Option A) A=-5/16,B=-9/16,C=-0.7,D=-0.4

This is Incorrect representation because the value of C and D should lying between -0.5 and 0.

Option B) A=-0.4,B=-0.7,C=-5/16,D=9/16

This is Incorrect representation because the value of A and B should lying between -1 and -0.5.

Option C) A=9/16,B=-5/16,C=-0.4,D=-0.7

This is Incorrect representation because the value of C and D should lying between -0.5 and 0.

Option D) A=-0.7,B=-9/16,C=-0.4,D=-5/16

Here the value of A and B lying between -1 and -0.5 also the value of C and D lying between -0.5 and 0.

Also they are in ascending order from -1 to 0.

Hence, the correct option is Option D) A=-0.7,B=-9/16,C=-0.4,D=-5/16
