Question

Which point is NOT correctly placed on this number line?

also if u can pls explain it to if not its ok

Answer 1

Point R at 7/2

If it is wrong then the other answer is probably Point Q.

I hope I could help.

Answer 2

Answer: Q is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

P = -24/3
(P = 24 divided by 3 which is 8, so P= -8)

Q = -9/2
(Q = 9 divided by 2 which is 4.5, Q= -4.5)

R= 7/2
(R= 7 divided by 2 which is 3.5, Q= 3.5)

S= 15/3
(S= 15 divided by 3 (= 5), so S= 5)

So... Looking at the number line, Q is actually on the point -3.5 instead of where it should be, -4.5. It is easy to miss at first glance but it counts backwards into the negative numbers.

Therefore point Q is not correctly placed on the number line.

I hope this helps :)
