Question

Graph –0.25 on the number line


note: The answer is not a decimal

Answer 1

To graph \(-0.25\) on a number line, you'll want to follow these steps:

1. **Draw a horizontal line**: This will represent your number line.
2. **Mark the center**: Identify and clearly mark \(0\) in the center of the line.
3. **Identify the scale**: Since \(-0.25\) is between \(-1\) and \(0\), you may want to divide the space between these two points into smaller intervals. Each interval could represent \(-0.1\), \(-0.2\), etc.
4. **Locate \(-0.25\)**: Count one-quarter of the way from \(0\) to \(-0.5\). This would mean placing a point for \(-0.25\) slightly after \(-0.2\) and before \(-0.3\).
5. **Label the point**: Write \(-0.25\) next to the point you marked.

The visual representation would show \(-0.25\) correctly on the number line but please describe or visualize as I can't draw. Here's a simple text representation:

```
| | | | |
-1 | -0.5 | -0.25 | 0 | 1
| | | | |
```

In this representation:

- Each "|" represents a whole number.
- The location of \(-0.25\) is marked between \(-0.2\) and \(-0.3\).
