Question

Which of the following numbers is shown plotted on the number line?

0
0 2.75 0 2 0-3 0-2 0-15

Answer 1

-3 3/8

Explanation:

• The only number we're given on the number line is 0, but we can assume that each tick on the number line represents 1 units.

• We see that between the ticks that are 4 and 3 spaces away from 0.
• Since the point is to the left of 0, we know the number must be negative.
• The only answer that would make sense is -3 3/8, since the tick 4 places away from 0 is -4 and the tick 3 units away from 0 is -3 and -3 3/8 lies between -3 and -4
