Draw a number line and show all the numbers that
… are 2/3 of a unit to the left of 1/2
… are five units away from 0
1/2 - 2/3 = -1/6
Oh boy, let's get our artistic hats on and create a number line, shall we? Here we go:
First, let's find the numbers that are 2/3 of a unit to the left of 1/2. To do that, we move 2/3 units to the left of 1/2 on the number line. So, starting from 1/2, we go 2/3 units to the left. Drumroll, please... and ta-da! We land at -1/6. That's the number 2/3 of a unit to the left of 1/2.
Now, onto the second challenge: finding the numbers that are five units away from 0. Let's start at 0 on our number line and count five units to the right. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... and we end up at 5. So, 5 is a number that's five units away from 0.
Voila! We've completed our mission of drawing a number line and marking the numbers that are 2/3 of a unit to the left of 1/2 (-1/6) and the numbers that are five units away from 0 (5). Time to sit back, relax, and admire our masterpiece!
Sure! Here's a number line with the requested values:
-2/3 ---------------------------- 0 -------------- 1/2 -------------- 5
To draw a number line and show the numbers that are 2/3 of a unit to the left of 1/2, you can follow these steps:
1. Draw a horizontal line to represent the number line.
2. Choose a starting point, such as 0, on the left side of the line.
3. Mark 1/2 on the number line by moving to the right half of the line from the starting point.
4. Divide the space between the starting point and 1/2 into three equal parts.
5. Move two-thirds of one of these parts to the left of 1/2 and mark this point on the number line.
To show the numbers that are five units away from 0, follow these steps:
1. Keep the same number line you drew earlier.
2. Mark 0 on the number line as the starting point.
3. Move five units to the right of 0 and mark this point on the number line.
4. Move five units to the left of 0 and mark this point on the number line.
Please note that the positions of the numbers mentioned above are relative to the marked points and may vary depending on the scale and size of your number line.
1/2 - 2/3 = 3/6 - 4/6 = -1/6
so 1/6 unit left of the origin
-5 and + 5
