Answer:

  {-4.6, -4.2, -3.8, -3.4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the space Karlie is dividing is -3-(-5) = 2 units. Then the length of each of those equal 5 spaces will be 2/5 units = 0.4 units.

Each mark on the number line is 0.4 units to the right of the previous one. The first (left-most) mark is 0.4 units to the right of -5, so is at -5+0.4 = -4.6.

The marks have to be placed at -4.6, -4.2, -3.8, and -3.4.
