CPM Homework Help : CC1MN Problem 6-95

Draw a number line. Then draw and label a dot to show the position of each of the following numbers.

$2.5$

$\frac{1}{2}$

$−2$

$0.5$

$−1\frac{1}{2}$

$-\frac{3}{4}$

Hint 1:

First, look at each number you will need to plot and try to scale the number line.

Hint 2:

You may have noticed that most of the numbers are whole or half numbers, so you might like to scale the number line by $0.5\text{ or }\frac{1}{2}.$
You could also scale the number line by $0.25$ or $\frac{1}{4}$ .
Be sure that the line includes both positive and negative values!

Hint 3:

This is a sample number line. Can you plot the points here?
A number line from negative 3 to 3, labeled at every 0.5 interval.

Hint 4:

Remember that $0.5$ is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$ . Also, remember to label your points!
