Question

Which product is modeled by the number line below?

Answer 1

Proportion logic: 4/x = 5/1

Answer 2

The correct option is 2.

Explanation:

From the given number line it is clear that there are 4 jumps of 2 units in opposite direction.

After first jump, the total covered distance is

`-(2)* (1)=-2`

After second jump, the total covered distance is

`-(2)* (2)=-4`

After third jump, the total covered distance is

`-(2)* (3)=-6`

After fourth jump, the total covered distance is

`-(2)* (4)=-8`

It means the product (-2)(4) is modeled by the given number line.

Therefore the correct option is 2.
