Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking? Which of the points A, B, C, or D is plotted incorrectly on the number line? Watch out! Make sure to convert all numbers to the same format (decimals) for easy comparison!
STEP 2
1. Convert to Decimals
2. Compare to Number Line
STEP 3
Point A is already a decimal: .
STEP 4
**Convert** the fraction to a decimal: So, Point B is .
STEP 5
**Convert** the mixed number to a decimal: So, Point C is .
STEP 6
Point D is already a decimal: .
STEP 7
Point A should be at , which is between and , closer to .
This looks **correct** on the number line.
STEP 8
Point B should be at , which is between and , closer to .
This looks **correct** on the number line.
STEP 9
Point C should be at , which is between and , closer to .
This looks **correct** on the number line.
STEP 10
Point D should be at , which is between and , closer to .
However, Point D is plotted between and , closer to .
This is **incorrect**!
STEP 11
Point D is plotted incorrectly.
