Math Problem Statement

Identify the rational numbers that are plotted on the vertical number line.

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to identify which of the rational numbers listed are plotted on the vertical number line in the image.

Analysis of the Vertical Number Line:

The number line has dots at the following values:

  • 3-3
  • 1-1
  • 00
  • 0.60.6
  • 11
  • 22

Options Provided:

Let's check each option to see if they match the values on the number line:

  1. 3-3 - There is a dot at 3-3 on the number line. ✔️
  2. 165\frac{16}{5} - This equals 3.23.2, which is not plotted on the number line. ❌
  3. 45\frac{4}{5} - This equals 0.80.8, which is not plotted on the number line. ❌
  4. 2.75-2.75 - This is approximately 234-2\frac{3}{4}, which is not on the number line. ❌
  5. 213-2\frac{1}{3} - This equals approximately 2.333-2.333, not on the number line. ❌
  6. 22 - There is a dot at 22 on the number line. ✔️
  7. 174\frac{17}{4} - This equals 4.254.25, which is not on the number line. ❌
  8. 0.60.6 - There is a dot at 0.60.6 on the number line. ✔️

Conclusion:

The correct rational numbers that are plotted on the vertical number line are:

  • 3-3
  • 22
  • 0.60.6
