Question

Select the locations on the number line to plot the points 9/2 and −7/2.

Answer 1

Answer:To plot these points on the number line, you should label the long lines on the number line as such starting from the left (-5-already there, -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5-already there).

Now take each number and convert the improper fraction into a mixed number. 9/2 = 4 1/2 and -7/2 = -3 1/2.

4 1/2 would plotted on the line exactly in between the 4 and 5.

-3 1/2 would be plotted on the line exactly halfway between -3 and -4.

You will draw a dot to show each of these positions on a number line.
