Question

At the end of the week, Warren records the weight in pounds of doggie treats eaten as a negative rational number.Plot the numbers of pounds eaten each week on the numberline. Order the numbers from most pounds eaten to fewest pounds eaten

Answer 1

A number line is a system of showing the locations or positions of directed numbers from the mid point (0).

• The plotted number line required is attached to this answer.
• The order of the numbers from most to fewest pounds eaten is:

                             $-\frac{3}{2}$, $-\frac{5}{4}$, $-\frac{2}{3}$, $-\frac{1}{2}$

A number line is a system used to show the appropriate locations of directed numbers from the origin (0). A directed number is a number which is either positive or negative. Examples are: -4, 2, 5, -9, $\frac{1}{2}$, +4, +1, etc.

Considering the given question, the given weights in pounds of dogie eaten are:

$-\frac{2}{3}$, $-\frac{3}{2}$, $-\frac{1}{2}$, $-\frac{5}{4}$

To determine the order from most to fewest pound eaten:

the lowest common factor of the given weights is 12, so that;

$\frac{-8, -18, -6, -15}{12}$

Thus, the order from most pound eaten to fewest pound eaten is:

 $-\frac{3}{2}$, $-\frac{5}{4}$, $-\frac{2}{3}$, $-\frac{1}{2}$

The number line to show the positions of the numbers is attached to this answer for more clarifications.
