Answer 2

Answer: The first number line

Explanation:

The first number line shows that it starts at 0, goes to 1.5 which is basically where you start. 1.5 plus 2.5 equals 4, meaning that the number line should stop at 4, which is what the number line shows.

The second number line doesn't work because there is no reason for it to stop at 3.

The third number line has no correlation to the problem.

The fourth number line starts at 1.5 BUT ends at 5.5. This does NOT represent 1.5 plus 5.5 because it should stop at 4 and not 5.5.
