Question

find the value of w. write your answer as a decimal number.
0 w 1
w =

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of intervals

The number line goes from 0 to 1, and we can count the number of intervals between 0 and 1. Let's count the ticks: from 0 to 1, there are 10 equal intervals (since the last tick is at 1, and we can see the number of spaces between 0 and 1 is 10).

Step2: Find the length of each interval

Since the total length from 0 to 1 is 1, and there are 10 intervals, each interval has a length of $\frac{1}{10} = 0.1$.

Step3: Determine the position of w

Looking at the number line, w is at the 3rd interval from 0 (counting the first tick after 0 as interval 1). So we multiply the length of each interval (0.1) by the number of intervals from 0 to w, which is 3. So $w = 0.1\times3 = 0.3$.

Answer:

0.3
