Question

How would the number 54 be correctly produced in ASL?(1 point)

Answer 1

do you bounce your hand while doing that?

Answer 2

To produce the number 54 in American Sign Language (ASL), you would use finger spelling.

The signs for the numbers 5 and 4 are:
- 5: Hold up your non-dominant hand with all fingers extended, then use your dominant hand to touch the tip of your thumb to the tips of your fingers (palm facing yourself).
- 4: Hold up your non-dominant hand with all four fingers extended, then use your dominant hand to tap the tip of your thumb to the tips of the fingers (palm facing yourself).

So, to sign 54, you would sign 5 followed by 4 using finger spelling.

Answer 3

Sorry for the confusion in my previous response. In American Sign Language (ASL), for numbers larger than 20, you typically sign the tens digit first, followed by the ones digit (e.g., 23 would be signed by fingerspelling "2" and then "3").

To sign "54" in ASL, you would first sign the number 5 followed by the number 4 using finger spelling without bouncing your hand. Simply hold up your non-dominant hand and use your dominant hand to fingerspell the numbers "5" and then "4" sequentially. There is no need to bounce your hand while doing this.
