Plot and on the number line.
STEP 1
Assumptions
1. The number line is a horizontal line with points that correspond to numbers.
2. The points on the number line are spaced evenly according to their value.
3. The number line includes the numbers 2.25 and 4.75.
4. Each whole number is marked on the number line, and fractional parts are placed proportionally between whole numbers.
STEP 2
Identify the whole numbers that are immediately before and after 2.25 on the number line. In this case, those numbers are 2 and 3.
STEP 3
Since 2.25 is a quarter (0.25) more than 2, we need to divide the segment between 2 and 3 into four equal parts because there are four quarters in a whole.
STEP 4
Plot the point for 2.25 on the number line. It will be one quarter past the whole number 2.
STEP 5
Identify the whole numbers that are immediately before and after 4.75 on the number line. In this case, those numbers are 4 and 5.
STEP 6
Since 4.75 is three quarters (0.75) more than 4, we need to divide the segment between 4 and 5 into four equal parts because there are four quarters in a whole.
STEP 7
Plot the point for 4.75 on the number line. It will be three quarters past the whole number 4.
The points 2.25 and 4.75 are now plotted on the number line.
