To solve the expression \( 16 - 20.5 \):
1. Identify the values:
- Starting point is 16.
- We need to subtract 20.5 from it.
2. Perform the subtraction:
\[
16 - 20.5 = -4.5
\]
Thus, the solution is \(-4.5\).
To represent this on a horizontal number line:
- Draw a horizontal line and mark key numbers on it, ranging from at least \(-5\) to \(20\) for context.
- Locate the number 16 on the line.
- To subtract \(20.5\), move left from 16 a distance of 20.5 units.
- This will take you past 0 and into the negative range, arriving at \(-4.5\).
Your number line should show the line starting from \(16\) and moving towards \(-4.5\).
Final answer: \(-4.5\)
