Which point on the number line
represents two and three-tenths?
In this question, we’re given a
number line and we have three points marked, point 𝐴, 𝐵, and 𝐶. We have to identify which point
represents two and three-tenths or 2.3. Each of the three points is between
two and zero-tenths and three and zero-tenths. So we know that each of our points
is worth two and an amount of tenths.
We’re looking for the point which
represents two and three-tenths. Each division on this number line
represents one-tenth. So this division represents two and
one-tenth. So the next division would be two
and two-tenths. So we know that point 𝐴 isn’t the
correct answer. Point 𝐵 represents two and
three-tenths. Let’s keep counting to see what
point 𝐶 represents: 2.4 or two and four-tenths, two and five-tenths, two and
six-tenths. The point on the number line which
represents two and three-tenths is point 𝐵.
