Plot the whole number benchmarks on the open number line: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Then, plot the number 7.52 and subtract 5.49, marking the jumps at each whole number benchmark.
Draw a horizontal line representing the number line.
Mark whole numbers (0, 1, 2, ...) with equally spaced intervals along the line.
Plot 5.49:
Locate the point between 5 and 6 on the number line.
Since 5.49 is closer to 6 than 5, mark a small tick slightly to the right of 5 but not halfway to 6. Label this point as "5.49".
Plot 7.52:
Locate the point between 7 and 8 on the number line.
Since 7.52 is closer to 8 than 7, mark a small tick slightly to the right of 7 but not halfway to 8. Label this point as "7.52".
Label Jumps:
Calculate the difference between the two numbers: 7.52 - 5.49 = 2.03.
Mark the distance of 2.03 units to the left of the point representing 7.52. Label this jump as "2.03".
The number line is attached below:
