Question

Explain how to use a number line to find a decimal equivalent to 1 7/10

Answer 1

one is one the number line and the 7/10 is between 0.8

Answer 2

Explanation:

We are given with a mixed fraction
`1(7)/(10)`

To solve the given mixed fraction, we will have to split it and perform addition

`1(7)/(10) = 1 + (7)/(10)`

⇒
`1(7)/(10) = (7)/(10)`

⇒
`1(7)/(10) = 0.7`

now to find
`0.7`, as it is a positive real number, hence it would line to the right of
`0` on the number line between
`0` and
`1`

also as the midpoint between
`0` to
`1` will be at
`(1)/(2)` or
`0.5` therefore
`1(7)/(10)` will be slightly closer to
`1` on the number line.
