Thank you so much!!

Answer 1

You should put the $18 right between $16 and $20 mark

Answer 2

Answer:

Between the second and third vertical lines, as shown in attached image.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the point between the 12 and the 20, subtract 12 from 20 and divide the result by two:

$20-12=8\\\frac{8}{2}=4$

Then, add the result (4) to 12. The midpoint between the 12 and the 20 on this number line is 16. This makes sense, because 16 + 4 = 20.

Now you can see that the midpoint between 16 and 20 is 18. This point is not yet marked with a line on the number line, but that's where you put the dot.
