Locate on the number line: (a) $0.6$ (b) $- 0.25$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required number line is

(a)

(b)

Step by step solution

Given number

Given numbers are $0.6, - 0.25$

Procedure

(a) The decimal number $0.6$ is equivalent to $\frac{6}{10}$ , a proper fraction, so $0.6$ is located between 0 and 1. On a number line, we divide the interval between 0 and 1 into 10 equal parts. Now label the parts $0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0$ and mark 0.4 on the number line.

(b) The decimal number $- 0.25$ is equivalent to $- \frac{25}{100} = - \frac{1}{4}$ , a proper fraction, so $- 0.25$ is located between 0 and 1. On a number line, we divide the interval between -1 and 0 into 4 equal parts. Now we label the parts $- 1, - 0.75, - 0.5, - 0.25$ and mark -0.25 on the number line.

The Line

The number lines are
