How do you use a number line from least to greatest

Mathematics
1 answer:
Arlecino [84]2 years ago
6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

left to right.

the smallest numbers are on the left, the largest in the right.

all the numbers in the line are sorted.

so, going from left to right the numbers get continuously larger (no exception), and when going from right to left, they get continuously smaller.

remember that the negative numbers are smaller than the positive numbers. so, the negative numbers (if there are any in your case) are on the left side.

and negative numbers get smaller by "seemingly increasing" : -1 is larger than -2 and so on.

so, the range of the negative numbers starts on the left side with the "largest" negative number (but when you think about it, it IS the smallest number) and their absolute value gets smaller until they reach 0, and then the positive numbers start from small to large.

this also asked to fractions and mixed fraction numbers :

e.g. -2 1/2 is smaller than -2 and larger than -3.

because it is -2 + -1/2 = -2 - 1/2 = -2 1/2.

in that sense it is the same principle as with positive numbers :

2 1/2 = 2 + 1/2

-2 1/2 = -2 - 1/2

The length of a board is 2 5/8 feet long. If 5/6 of a foot is trimmed off, find the new length
nalin [4]

Answer:

New length is 3 3/20 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total board is 2 5/8 feet long. And since 5/6 of a foot is trimmed off, that means each piece of wood is 5/6 feet.

We can now set up an equation like this ---> 5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8

Now we're going to simplify --->  5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8

                                                      5/6 ⋅ x = 21/8              

                                                      (multiply both sides by 6)

                                                      5x = 63/4

                                                      (divide both sides by 5)

                                                      x = 63/20

                                                      x= 3.15

So, the new length is 3.15 feet long, or 3 3/20 in mixed fraction.

The melt in your mouth chocolate factory is a rectangular building the distance across the front of the store is 294 feet the di
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The sign would be 784 ft. long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sign would be painted across the total perimeter of the building.

- the distance across the front of the store is 294 feet

- the distance from the front to the back is one third of this distance = (1/3) × 294 = 98 ft.

The perimeter of a rectangular = 2(L + B)

L = length of the building = 294 ft.

B = Breadth of the building = 98 ft.

Perimeter of the chocolate factory that the Sign would be painted across = 2(294 + 98) = 784 ft.

Hope this Helps!!!
