how do you show 2/5's on a number line
12
between 4 and 6
Think of the numbers on the number line as years, months, or dates of the month. You could explain the event in a text box close to the corresponding date, then draw an arrow from the box to the location of the date on the number line.
2/5 = 4/10, which is 1/10 to the left of 1/2
Very close to 5 however to the left of it.
Left of the 0 figure on the number line.
There is no number between 5 and 5. It is the same point on the number line and a word like between would imply a space from one point to the next on the number line.
Start at the number -5. Adding a positive number implies moving to the right on a number line, so move 3 spaces to the right on the number line. This gives -5 + 3 = -2.
3/5 on a number line = 0.6
There are two of them. One is very close to -2.236. The other is very close to +2.236.
A number's distance from 0 on a number line is called absolute value. The absolute value of 5 is 5 and the absolute value of -5 is also 5.
5.7, on a number line, is located in between 5 and 6.
At the number 2, draw a vertical line (perpendicular to the number line) and mark a distance of 1 unit on this line. Call this point X The distance from 0 to X is sqrt(5). Put a compass with its point at 0 and the pencil at X, and then draw an arc to cut the number line. That will be sqrt(5) on the number line.
The square root of 29 is an irrational number, close to (but not equal to) 5.385; on a number line, this is a point between 5 and 6 closer to 5 than 6. The number can also be represented as a continued fraction. You can find a link to an image of this representation below.
The number above the line in a fraction is called the numerator. The number below the line is called the denominator. So in the fraction 5/7 5 is the numerator and 7 is the denominator.
One number greater than -5 on the number line is -4.
