Question

Graph –0.25 on the number line.

Answer 1

To graph -0.25 on a number line, follow these steps:

1. Draw a horizontal line. This will be your number line.
2. Mark a point on the line to represent zero (0).
3. Choose a scale for your number line. Since -0.25 is a negative value, you will need to mark points to the left of zero. For example, you can mark -1, -0.5, and -0.25.
4. Mark the points on the line:
- To the left of 0, mark -0.5 approximately halfway between -1 and 0.
- Then, mark -0.25 halfway between 0 and -0.5.
5. Clearly label -0.25 with a dot or a small circle to indicate the point on the number line.

Your number line should show -0.25 positioned between -0.5 and 0.
