Question

Drag and drop the values into the table to match the points on the number line.

Each tile may be used once or not at all.


A number line is shown with major hash marks at 3, 4, and 5. There are 9 hash marks between each whole number. Point A is 6 hash marks after 4. Point B is halfway between the first and second hash marks after 3. Point C is halfway between 4 and the first hash mark after 4. Point D is 5 hash marks after 3.


(that was the number line description, although there will be a pic of the number line)

(the main point is to put the decimals in the correct area).


(Worth 100 points if answered correctly)!

Answer 1

#B

• It lies in between 3 and 4
• Then it lies between 0.1 and 0.2

So

• Most probable value is 3+0.15=3.15

#D

Same between 3 and 4 but at 0.5

• Value is 3+0.5=3.5

#C

After 4 but before 0.1

So

• Value is 4.05

#A

• After 4 and at 0.6

Value is 4.6

Answer 2

A = 4.6

B = 3.15

C = 4.05

D = 3.5

Explanation:

There are 9 ticks (minor hash marks) between each number, which means each tick represents a tenth.

For example: 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc.

Point A is on the 6th tick after the number 4.

Therefore, A = 4.6

Point B is between the 1st and 2nd ticks after 3.

Therefore it is between 3.1 and 3.2

So B = 3.15

Point C is between the number 4 and the 1st tick after 4.

Therefore it is between 4 and 4.1

So C = 4.05

Point D is on the 5th tick after the number 3.

Therefore, D = 3.5
