Question

Nico wants to use horizontal number line to compare 1 3/4 and 1.5. He is unsure how to do it and asks you for help. How would you explain the process

Answer 1

Answer:

1 3/4

is equal to 1.75. I would plot 1.5 and 1.75 between 1 and 2, but 1.75 would be closer to 2. Since 1.75 is further to the right, it is greater than 1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step 1. Draw the number line. Make he two endpoints 0 and 2.

Step 2: Mark points for 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2.

Step 3: Plot the points.

We know that the point 1.5 would fall under the 1.5 label in the number line, as it is precisely 0.5 units away from 1 and 2.

We also know that 1 3/4 can be written as 1.75. Using this knowledge, we know that we would plot a point between 1.5 and 2, as the number is found between these two values.

Hope this helps!
