On the number line, less then a quarter of a unit to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is is bit smaller then zero. Consider the temperature. When it is freezing, you can get temperatures below zero. If it freezes 1 degree that would be 1 unit to the left of zero on the number line.

However, we have a temperature of just 0.2 below zero, so on the number line, that is less then a quarter of a unit to the left.
