Question

Identify the correct point on the number line for each fraction. (5 and 6)

Answer 1

Hey there :)

The number line has 0.1 spacing in between
C A D B
<-|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|--
7 7.1 7.2 7.3 7.4 7.5 7.6 7.7 7.8 7.9 8 8.1 8.2 8.3

5. 8.3 ____ Since, they are spaced with a difference of 0.1, 8.3 is after the 8 on the number line.

Therefore, point B is at 8.3

6.
`7 (3)/(5)` ____

`7(3)/(5)` is 7.6

Therefore, point C is at
`7 (3)/(5)`

Answer 2

There are 10 marks between 7 and 8, therefore each mark is equivalent to 0.1

For 8.3, count 3 marks after 8:

`8.3 \longrightarrow B`

First convert the fraction into decimal. Then count 6 marks from 7:

`7(3)/(5) = 7.6 \longrightarrow C`
