Answer:

(you'll have to read the explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 lines from 1 to 2, so plotting 1 1/2 (or 1.5) is right in between. I'm not sure how to add the picture back into the explanation, but I will try my best to explain. You want to plot your point for 1 1/2 4 lines after the 1. For the 2 1/4, you want to plot your point on the second line from the 2. Let me know if it doesn't make sense!

Answer: See the attached image below

1 1/2 is located at the exact midpoint between 1 and 2.

2 1/4 is located 2 tickmarks to the right of 2.

===================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of 1/2 as 4/8

The number 1 1/2 is the same as 1 4/8

So we start at 1 and move 4 tickmarks to the right to get at the exact midpoint (note there are 8 tickmarked spaces between any two whole numbers).

This places us exactly at the midpoint between 1 and 2.

-----------------

To plot 2 1/4, we will effectively plot 2 2/8 since 1/4 = 2/8

We start at 2 and then move 2 tickmarks to the right to arrive at 2 2/8
