The following numbers are shown on the number line: −1.8, 0.8, 3.1, −1.2, 2 3/4. Which number is represented by point B?
To determine which number is represented by point B, we need to match the numbers to their corresponding points on the number line.
First, let's arrange the numbers in ascending order:
-1.8, -1.2, 0.8, 2 3/4, 3.1
Next, we identify the point B on the number line. Counting from left to right, we can see that point B is between -1.2 and 0.8.
Therefore, the number represented by point B is between -1.2 and 0.8.
To find out which number is represented by point B, we need to identify the corresponding number on the number line based on the given points.
Let's arrange the numbers in ascending order:
-1.8, -1.2, 0.8, 2 3/4, 3.1
Now, we can label each point on the number line with the corresponding number:
A-----------------B--------------------------------------C---------------------D-----------------E
From the arrangement, we can see that point B falls between -1.2 and 0.8. Therefore, the number represented by point B is -1.2.
