Question

The diagram shows a toy car on a number line.

A line with arrowheads at both ends has ticks marks every 2 units. The tick marks for 0, 6, and 10 are labeled. A car sits above the tick mark for 2 with a dashed red line leading to the tick mark.
What is the position of the car?

–4

Answer 1

2

The ticks are 2 units apart (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10). The car is above the tick immediately right of 0, so it's at position 2.
