Question

Use the drawing tool(s) to form the correct answer on the provided number line.
Consider the decimal value equivalent of 21/25

On the number line, plot the two nearest points that 21/25 is between.

Answer 1

To find the decimal value equivalent of \( \frac{21}{25} \), we can perform the division:

\[
\frac{21}{25} = 0.84
\]

Now, we need to determine the nearest whole numbers that \( 0.84 \) is between. The two whole numbers closest to \( 0.84 \) are \( 0 \) and \( 1 \).

So, on the number line, you would plot the decimal \( 0.84 \) between \( 0 \) and \( 1 \). The two points you should mark are:

- **0** (the left endpoint)
- **1** (the right endpoint)

This means \( 0.84 \) is positioned just below 1, further confirming that it lies between these two points.
