The key to understanding the question lies in knowing the scale of the number line

Observe that between 5.5 & 5.6, there are 10 segments/points

To know how much each segment/point is worth, we will divide the difference between 5.5 & 5.6 by the number of segment/point between them (as shown below)

5.6 - 5.5 = 0.1

We divide 0.1 by 10:

0.1/10 = 0.01

That tells us that each segment/point is worth 0.01
