Question

For a science​ project, you observe four different types of birds from the time they build their nests until the baby birds fly away. You record the distance in miles each nest is from the science​ center, using positive numbers for east and negative numbers for west. Show the location of each nest on the number line.

Answer 1

To display the distances of the nests on a number line, we’ll mark each type of bird according to the distance you provided.

Here are the distances for each bird type:
- G: -0.5 miles (which is located between -1 and 0 on the number line).
- P: 0.25 miles (which is located between 0 and 1 on the number line).
- R: 1.25 miles (which is located between 1 and 2 on the number line).
- S: -1.75 miles (which is located between -2 and -1 on the number line).

Now, plotting them on the number line:

```

In this representation, we can see the relative positions of each nest corresponding to their distances from the science center.
