Question

Rider dribbles the ball down 1/3 of the basketball court on the first day of practice. Each day after that he dribbled 1/3 of the way more than he did day before.
Draw number line to represent the court.
Partition the number line to represent How far rider dribbles on day one, two, 3

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

It is given that:

Rider dribbles the ball down 1/3 of the basketball court on the first day of practice.

Also each day after that he dribbled 1/3 of the way more than he did day before.

Let the length of the basketball court be 'x' units.

So, in particular we choose x=1 units.

i.e. in table form we can represent the distance he dribbles as:

Day 1                    1/3

Day 2                   2/3

Day 3                   3/3=1

Also, it could be represented in the number line we can see with the help of the figure attached to the answer.

Answer 2

Day 1=1/3    day 2=2/3    day 3=3/3=1 whole
