Question

Fill in the missing number of the number line below.
-3, -2.5, __, -1.5

Answer 1

Um, this question has already been answer, but I, as well, want to write my own answer.

I believe the answer to your question is -2. You need to find the which number is increasing to get to 2.5, which in this case is .5. Using this knowledge, you are going to add .5 to -2.5, which should get you -2. Once you are done finding the blank, it is always best to double check your work. You can add .5 to -2 to see if with be the fourth term in the sequence.

I am honestly not good at explaining things, but I wanted to try. But hopefully my explanation helps you. <3

Answer 2

The answer would be -2
Because in the number line provided each number is increasing by .5 therefore adding .5 to -2.5 would give you the answer that is needed.
Hope this helps! :)
