Math Problem Statement

Choose the correct number line for the decimal 0.2.

Solution

The question asks to choose the correct number line representing the decimal 0.2. Let's examine each number line:

  1. First number line: The red dot is placed at around 0.8. This does not represent 0.2.
  2. Second number line: The red dot is placed at 0.2. This is the correct position.
  3. Third number line: The red dot is placed at around -0.8, which is negative, and incorrect for 0.2.
  4. Fourth number line: The red dot is placed at around 0.8, which is incorrect for 0.2.

Thus, the second number line correctly represents 0.2.

  2. What is the position of 0.75 on a number line between 0 and 1?
  3. How do you represent negative decimals like -0.3 on a number line?
  4. What is the difference between 0.2 and 0.02 on a number line?
  5. How do you divide a number line between 0 and 1 into tenths?

Tip: When placing a decimal like 0.2 on a number line, divide the section between 0 and 1 into 10 equal parts, with 0.2 being 2/10.
