Question

Please help!!! At what position on the number line is the red dot located?A. -10.75B. -9.5C. -9.75D. -10.25

Answer 1

ANSWER

-10.25

EXPLANATION

On the number line, we see that the space between each consecutive whole number is divided into four spaces.

This means that each division is 1/4 of 1. That is:

1/4 * 1 = 1/4 or 0.25

The dot is located on the first division on the left side of -10.

This means that we will subtract 0.25 from -10.

That is:

-10 - 0.25

= -10.25

Therefore, the red dot is located at -10.25
