Question

Classify the numbers according to their positions on a vertical number line.

Answer 1

1.5 would be above 1, -4.5 would be below -2, 4 would obviously be above 1, 0.5 would be between -2 and above 1, and lastly -0.5 would be below -2. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Below -2: -2.5, -4.5

Between -2 and 1: -0.5, 0.5

Above 1: 1.5, 4

Explanation:

Below -2 answer: We know that -2 is below 0, so we should look for negative numbers that have a lesser value than -2. Thus, we are left with -2.5 and -4.5

Between -2 and 1 answer: In this case, we must find one or more of the values given to us that fit this requirement. In other words, find values that are greater than -2 but less than 1. So, we are left with -0.5 and 0.5.

Above 1 answer: For the final box, we are left with the values of 1.5 and 4. We know that the requirement is that the values must be greater than 1, so we can fact-check this with the values given:

1.5 > 1

4 > 1

So, the answers for the final box will be 1.5 and 4.

Hope this helps!
