Question

Use the number line diagram below to answer the following questions.1.What is the length of each segment on the number line?

Answer 1

Given from the number line that the total number of segments between 0 and 1 is 12 segments.

1) Therefore, the length of each segment on the number line is

`(1-0)/(12)=(1)/(12)`

Hence, the answer is

`(1)/(12)`

2) There are 8 segments between 0 and K.

Therefore, point K represents

`(1)/(12)*8=(8)/(12)=(2)/(3)`

Hence, the answer is

`(2)/(3)`

3) The opposite of K is

`-(2)/(3)\text{ since it falls on the negative side of the number line.}`

Hence, the answer is

`-(2)/(3)`
