Question

Explain how to use a number line to find a decimal equivalent to 1 7/10

Answer 1

One is one the number line and the 7/10 is between 0.8

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with a mixed fraction $1\frac{7}{10}$

To solve the given mixed fraction, we will have to split it and perform addition

$1\frac{7}{10} = 1 + \frac{7}{10}$

⇒$1\frac{7}{10} = \frac{7}{10}$

⇒$1\frac{7}{10} = 0.7$

now to find $0.7$, as it is a positive real number, hence it would line to the right of $0$ on the number line between $0$ and $1$

also as the midpoint between $0$ to $1$ will be at $\frac{1}{2}$ or $0.5$ therefore $1\frac{7}{10}$ will be slightly closer to $1$ on the number line.
