Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to compare the two numbers given: and , and then identify which number line representation is correct.
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
-
Approximate the values of the numbers:
- is approximately , so .
- (the cube root of 22) is approximately , so .
-
Comparison of the two values:
- is roughly , which is smaller (more negative) than , which is about .
- Therefore, on a number line, will be to the left of .
Analyze the number lines:
Now, we need to find the diagram where is to the left of on the number line.
- The second number line in the image, which is highlighted, places to the left of . This is the correct choice.
Answer:
The second number line is the correct representation because is less than .
