One example of number line of rational numbers is shown below

To help with addition, for example, 0.1 + 0.3, you'd start from 0.1 on the number line and then hop on three lines to the right. You should end at 0.4 and that's the answer

To help with subtraction, you would have to 'hop back'.

neonofarm [45]

Let, the number be "x"
Now,
according to the question,
4x -8 = x -23....................This is your equation.

Now solving it,
4x - 8 = x - 23
4x - x = -23 + 8
3x = -15
x = -15 / 3
x = -5

Checking the answer,
4 (-5) - 8 = (-5) - 23
-20 - 8 = -5 - 23
-28 = -28......................................true

How do you divide a mixed number into a whole number

laiz [17]

Answer:

<h3>Rules for division with a mixed number and a whole number </h3>

<h3>The mixed number is converted into an improper fraction and the whole number is written as a fraction with denominator 1. </h3>

<h3> 2.Division of the fractions is converted into a multiplication operation by multiplying the improper fraction with the reciprocal of the whole number. </h3>

<h3> 3.The resulting fraction, if required, is written as a mixed number in simplest form.</h3>
