Certainly! Let's summarize the problem described in the image:

1. **Scenario**: Katha walks 5 blocks east.
2. **Next Step**: She walks straight back to where she started.
3. **Final Move**: Katha walks 5 blocks west.

To represent this on a number line:
- Start at 0 (initial position).
- Move 5 units to the right (east).
- Return to 0 (back to the starting point).
- Move 5 units to the left (west).

The key points are Katha's initial position, her eastward movement, and her final position after walking west.

1 answer

In the scenario described:

  1. Initial Position: Katha starts at position 0 on the number line.
  2. Eastward Movement: She walks 5 blocks east, which takes her to position +5.
  3. Return to Start: She then walks straight back to her starting point (0).
  4. Westward Movement: Finally, she walks 5 blocks west, which moves her to position -5.

Summary on the Number Line:

  • Starting Point: 0
  • After walking east: +5
  • After returning to start: 0
  • After walking west: -5

Katha’s final position is -5 on the number line.
