Math Problem Statement

Identify the decimal labeled with the letter A on the scale below.

Solution

The image shows a number line with point A marked between 0 and 1. From the positioning, it appears that A is located closer to 0 than to 1.

To determine the decimal value represented by A, let's break down the number line. It seems the distance between 0 and 1 is divided into 4 equal segments. Therefore, each segment represents a decimal increment of:

104=0.25\frac{1 - 0}{4} = 0.25

Since A is located at the first segment after 0, the value of A is:

0+0.25=0.250 + 0.25 = 0.25

Thus, A represents the decimal 0.25.

Here are 5 related questions to practice:

  1. If point B is halfway between A and 1, what decimal would B represent?
  2. How would you label a point located exactly halfway between 0 and 0.25?
  3. If the number line was divided into 5 equal parts, what would the value of each segment be?
  4. What decimal value would a point three-fourths along the line between 0 and 1 represent?
  5. How would you express the position of a point between 0.25 and 0.5?

Tip: Always break down number lines into equal intervals to easily identify decimal values.
