Question

Marco located the falllow points on a number line which point is not corrtly placed on the number line

Answer 1

Question:

Marco plotted the following points on the number line.

Point A: 0.3 Point B:  3/4 Point C: 11/4 Point D: 0.7

Which point did he plot incorrectly?

Answer:

Point D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Point\ A= 0.3$

$Point\ B= \frac{3}{4}$

$Point\ C= \frac{11}{4}$

$Point\ D= 0.7$

Required

The incorrectly plotted point

Number plotted on a number line increases from left to right. This implies that:

$A < B < C < D$

Substitute the values for the given points

$0.3 < \frac{3}{4} < \frac{11}{4} < 0.7$

Express as fractions

$0.3 < 0.75 < 2.75 < 0.7$

Up till 2.75, the order of the numbers is correct.

However, 0.7 is less than 0.75 and 2.75

So, 0.7 is not placed correctly.

This implies that point D is not correctly placed
