Answer:

Expository text gets to the point rather quickly. It is intended as education rather than just narrative text. An example of narrative text is the Excerpt by Charles Dickens which is meant to draw a picture of what this woman was like.

So the last one is out.

The first one talks about volcanoes and how they are classified. That's one of your answers if you are trying for brevety and education.

I think the second one would also be a choice. It is trying to show you the nature of anxiety and what causes it. You learn a lot about symptoms from reading it. It's quick and to the point. Expository? Yes.

I don't think four is exactly expository, but I might be wrong. It sounds too argumentative to be completely expository. It wouldn't be my first choice even though I have read Twain a great deal, beginning in my teens. He always has something pointedly funny to say about the human condition. So it's hard for me not to include him in anything. It's not exactly narrative either. The tough ones are three and four.

Three tries to tell you what it would be like to live in another country. I think it likely is the choice you are looking for.

Plot 25/3 and 42/3 on the number line

Marianna [84]

You will want to start off by converting the fractions to mixed numbers.

starting with 25/3, I like to just divide and convert the decimal, if it has one, to a fraction, so

25/3 = 8.333

0.333 = 1/3

therefor, 25/3 = 8 1/3

then do 42/3

42/3 = 14

now that we have this we can plot them on the number line.

looking at the number line, it starts at 5 and goes to 15, then if we count the larger dashes we will see that it counts by 1's. These larger marks are then split into thirds by two smaller dashes. using this information you should be able to plot these numbers.

Starting with 8 1/3

count from 5 up to 8 with the larger dashes.

once you get to the dash for 8, count one small dash between the larger 8 dash and the 9 dash. This is where you should plot 8 1/3, make sure to label it as well.

Now for 14

this one is simple. count the larger dashes from 5 up to 14, then you can plot 14.

your number line should look like the attached image :)
