Example Question #1 : Number Lines
Refer to the above number line. Which of the points is most likely the location of ?
Convert to a decimal by dividing 5 by 9.
, so it falls between 0.55 and 0.56 on the number line. Point
is the correct response.
Example Question #31 : Numbers And Operations
Refer to the above number line. Which of the points is most likely the location of the number ?
Do not use a calculator.
, so
Point is in this range, so this is the correct response.
Example Question #1 : Number Lines
Refer to the above number line. Which of the points is most likely the location of the product of 2 and ?
Do not use a calculator.
, so
Point falls between 6.2 and 6.3 on the number line, so this is the correct choice.
Example Question #1 : Number Lines
Refer to the above number line. Which of the points is most likely the location of the number ?
Do not use a calculator.
, so
.
Therefore, .
Of the four points, falls in this range, so it is the correct response.
Example Question #1 : Number Lines
On a number line, how far apart are -2 and 7?
-9 units
5 units
9 units
2 units
7 units
9 units
On a number line, negative numbers lie to the left of zero and positive numbers lie to the right. To count the distance, count the slots between the two numbers:
There are TWO units between -2 and 0, and there are SEVEN units between 0 and 7. Together, there are NINE units between them.
Example Question #1 : Number Lines
On a number line, which of the following is the greatest distance?
The distance between -3 and 0.
The distance between -1 and 2.
The distance between -2 and 2.
The distance between -3 and 0.
The distance between -1 and 2.
All distances are equal.
The distance between -2 and 2.
The distance between -2 and 2.
On a number line, the negative numbers lie to the left of zero and positive numbers lie to the right. To visualize the distance between numbers, look at the units:
-3 and 0 are 3 units apart.
-1 and 2 are 3 units apart
-2 and 2 are 4 units apart. This is the greatest distance.
Example Question #1 : Number Lines
Which distance is greatest?
The distance between -2 and 1.
The distance between 1 and 7.
The distance between -2 and 5.
The distance between -2 and 1.
The distance between 1 and 7.
All distances are equal.
The distance between -2 and 5.
The distance between -2 and 5.
Looking at a number line, you can visualize the distance between positive and negative numbers:
There are THREE units between -2 and 1
There are SIX units between 1 and 7.
There are SEVEN units between -2 and 5, so this is the greatest distance.
Example Question #1 : Number Lines
A) The distance between -2 and 5 on a number line.
B) The distance between -1 and 3 on a number line.
3
4
7
5
6
3
The first step is to find out the values of A and B by counting the units between the given numbers.
A) The distance between -2 and 5 on a number line is 7.
B) The distance between -1 and 3 on a number line is 4.
