Question

the number line shows an unknown number, a. is a/5 positive or negative? positive negative

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze position of a

The number \(a\) is to the right of 0 on the number - line, so \(a>0\).

Step2: Analyze sign of \(\frac{a}{5}\)

Since \(a > 0\) and \(5>0\), and the quotient of two positive numbers is positive, \(\frac{a}{5}>0\).

Answer:

positive
