The following numbers are shown on a number line: 0.8, −1 1/2 , −1/4 , 2, −1.99 . Which number is located farthest to the right

Answer 1

To determine which number is located farthest to the right on a number line, we need to compare the values of the given numbers:

1. 0.8 (which is equal to \( \frac{8}{10} \) or \( \frac{4}{5} \))
2. −1 1/2 (which is equal to -1.5)
3. −1/4 (which is equal to -0.25)
4. 2
5. −1.99

Now let's list the numbers in order from smallest to largest:

• −1.99
• −1.5 (−1 1/2)
• −0.25 (−1/4)
• 0.8
• 2

From this order, we can see that 2 is the largest number and is located farthest to the right on the number line. Therefore, the number that is located farthest to the right is:

2.
