Question

Part B Point S is located at 5/4 on the number line. A student claims that the location of point S is to the right of the location of point P on the number line. *Explain whether the students claim is correct or in correct. *Write an equality that describes the relationship between the value of point P and the value of point S.

Answer 1

Number line can be found in the picture attached below

Answer:

The claim is incorrect ; Point S will be located to the left of Point P

2.5 > 1.25

Explanation:

Location of point S = 5/4 = 1 1/4 = 1.25

From the number line ; location of point P = 2.5

Point S is lesser than P, therefore, point S would be located to the left of point P on the number line.

Inequality that describes the relationship between the value of point P and point S ;

Point P = 2.5 ; Point S = 1.25

Point P > Point S

2.5 > 1.25
