To find the sum of P and Q using a number line, you first need to locate P on the number line. Since P is -19, you would start at zero and move 19 spaces to the left (since it's a negative number) until you find the point marked -19 on the number line.
Next, you need to locate Q on the number line. As Q is 12.1, you would start from the point where -19 is marked and count 12 spaces to the right (as Q is positive) until you find the point marked 12.1 on the number line.
Finally, you would add the position of Q (12.1) to the position of P (-19) by counting the spaces to the right from -19. So, you would count 12 spaces to the right from -19 on the number line to find the sum of P plus Q.
