Answer:
-1/6 and 1 1/6
I included an image showing the points to select, in red and the point we start at, in blue.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to get the numbers they tell us (2/3 & 1/2) to have the same denominators as the numbers on the number line before we can start.
1/2 is just the simplified form of 3/6 and 2/3 is just the simplified form of 4/6.
So 1/2 is actually 3/6 on the number line.
Now we need to find the numbers that are 2/3 (or 4/6) unit away from 3/6.
Count 4 units to the right and 4 to the left of 3/6 to get the numbers we are looking for.
These numbers are -1/6 and 1 1/6
I hope this helps!!
