Math Problem Statement

Which number line shows the numbers in the correct order?

Solution

The image shows a multiple-choice question asking which number line displays the numbers in the correct order.

Here’s the analysis:

  1. Number Line A: The positions of the numbers appear to be in increasing order from left to right, but the labels look incorrect.
  2. Number Line B: The numbers increase from left to right and the labeling seems correct.
  3. Number Line C: This number line seems to have the numbers decreasing from left to right, which is incorrect.
  4. Number Line D: This also shows numbers in a decreasing order from left to right.

The correct number line should have numbers arranged from smallest to largest, going from left to right.

Given this analysis, Number Line B is correct. It has the numbers in the proper ascending order from left to right.
