On a number line (which we will presume to be whole integers), 1.84 would be located definitely to the right of 0 because it is a positive decimal. In terms of full numbers, however, 1.84 would be located between integers 1 and 2, and it would be skewed closer to 2. Why? Well, 1.50 is representative of what would be considered halfway between 1 and 2. Because 1.84 is greater than 1.50, we know that 1.84 will be closer to 2 than it will be to 1. In terms of a widespread number line, between integers 1 - 10, 1.84 would be near the beginning, or further left side, of the number line because it is more than 1 but less than 2.

Your final answer: As far as a general number line, 1.84 will be located between 1 and 2, where it is skewed right more toward 2 than 1.
