Question

Write the decimal shown by this point78910

Answer 1

The number line is graded such that each unit is divided into 8 equal parts (instead of 10).

This simply means that each graded portion along the line is a fraction of 8.

The point on the number line shows 8 and then 6 out of 8 parts. That means;

`\begin{gathered} (6)/(8)=(3)/(4) \\ \\ 0.75 \end{gathered}`

The point on the number line shows the number as 8 and 3 quarters, or 8.75

The decimal therefore is 0.75
