Answer:

-7/48

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Ok, so if there is a change of -7/16 inches every 3 years, then you just basically have to divide -7/16 inches by 3. And since you can't divide fraction and only multiply the reciprocal of a fraction you would say        -7/16 * 1/3 = -7/48.
  2. If you want to mark it on a number line, you would basically just find -7/16 and divide the distance from 0 to -7/16 into 3 portions and mark the 1st third of the distance your answer.
