The number line shows where Kylie (K) stopped for water on her mile run. Miranda (M) and Jock (J) ran the same distance before stopping for a break.

A. Use number lines to represent where Miranda and Jock stopped for water.
B. At what point did each person stop for a break?
C. Write down 3 noticings that you have about the number lines.

Final answer:

To answer this question, you would draw two additional number lines for Miranda and Jock, placing them at the same point as Kylie if they ran the same distance. Noticings might include visual representation of distances, scale insights, and uniform endurance among the runners. Exact stopping points cannot be provided without the actual number lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the specific number line or positions where Kylie, Miranda, and Jock stopped for water are not provided in the question, I'll provide a general approach to solving this type of problem.

A. To represent where Miranda and Jock stopped for water, you would need to draw two number lines, each similar to the one provided for Kylie. If Miranda and Jock ran the same distance before stopping, then their respective positions (M and J) on the number lines would be located at the same point as Kylie's position (K).

B. Without the exact number line, we cannot specify the exact point where each person stopped. However, in your case, if the number lines were available, Kylie's position (K) would give us the stopping point for Miranda and Jock as well.

C. Three potential noticings about the number lines could be:

  • The distance each person ran before stopping for water is visually represented by the length of the line segment from the starting point to their labeled position (K, M, J).
  • If the number lines are drawn to scale, they can provide an insight into the relative distances ran by each person.
  • The uniformity in the stopping points of each runner suggests they might have the same endurance or have followed a predefined stopping rule.
