Question

Nico wants to use a horizontal number line to compare 13 4 and 1.5. He is unsure how to do it and asks you for help. How would you explain the process?

Answer 1

Sample Response: 13

Explanation:

4 is equal to 1.75. I would plot 1.5 and 1.75 between 1 and 2, but 1.75 would be closer to 2. Since 1.75 is further to the right, it is greater than 1.5.
