Final answer:

The calculation for 3/4 multiplied by 3 results in 2.25, so the number line represents option (b) which is 2.25. Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question Jesse asks involves calculating 3/4 multiplied by 3. This is a basic multiplication of a fraction with a whole number. To find the answer, you multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number and then divide the result by the denominator of the fraction.

So, to calculate 3/4 multiplied by 3:

Multiply the numerator (3) by the whole number (3) to get 9.

Since the denominator is 4, divide the 9 by 4 to get 2.25.

Therefore, the number line Jesse refers to represents 2.25, and the correct answer is option (b).

The number line represents 3/4 multiplied by 3. To find the point displayed on the number line, we need to multiply 3/4 by 3. Multiplying 3/4 by 3 gives us (3/4) * 3 = 9/4.

So, the point displayed on the number line is 9/4. To convert 9/4 to a decimal, divide 9 by 4: 9 ÷ 4 = 2.25.

Therefore, the point displayed on the number line is 2.25.
