Question

PLS HELP ME OUT!!

The diagram shows a toy car on a number line.

What is the position of the car?



a. –4
b. 1
c. 2
d. 4

Answer 1

In order to solve this problem, we must first find out the value of each line on the number line. However, we can make this problem more simple by ignoring every interval except for the ones between 0 and 6. There are three total intervals in between 0 and 6 (including 6 and excluding 0). Therefore, we can do 6/2, and get an interval value of 2. This means that each line adds a value of 2. Since the car is only one line past zero, we only have to add one value of 2. Since 0 + 2 = 2, our final answer is C. 2.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

c. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving the problem, we should understand what is the length that corresponds to one notch in the graph.

We see that there are 3 notches between 0 and 6, and that the length of the notches is constant: so, each notch corresponds to the same length. Since we have 3 notches, the length of each notch is

`(6)/(3)=2`

Since the car is located at the first notch, it means that its position is:

`x=1 \cdot 2 = 2`
