Question

what is the location of f on the decimal number line below? write your answer as a decimal. (number line with 0, 1, 2, 3 marked and f between 1 and 2)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the interval between 1 and 2

Between 1 and 2, the number line is divided into 10 equal parts (since from 1 to 2, we can count the ticks). So each part represents a value of $\frac{1}{10} = 0.1$.

Step2: Count the ticks from 1 to F

From 1, we count 5 ticks (since each tick is 0.1). So the value of F is $1 + 5\times0.1$.
Calculating that: $1 + 0.5 = 1.5$.

Answer:

1.5
