The coordinate of point R is 11/40, so the correct option is C.
How to find the coordinate of point R?
On the number line we can see that:
M = -1/4
T = 5/8
There are 5 segments between T and M, and the difference between T and M is:
5/8 - (-1/4) = 5/8 + 2/8 = 7/8
The measure of each segment will be equal to:
m = (7/8)/5 = 7/(8*5) = 7/40
Now, coordinate R is 2 segments to the left of T, so the coordinate of point R is given by:
R = 5/8 - 2*(7/40)
R = 25/40 - 14/40 = 11/40
The correct option is C.
