Use a number line to add 54+(−24)
To add 54 + (-24) using a number line, we start at 54 and move 24 units to the left since (-24) is negative.
Starting at 0 on the number line, we move 54 units to the right to reach 54. Then, from 54, we move 24 units to the left.
This brings us to the point -24. Therefore, 54 + (-24) equals 30.
Using a number line, the calculation can be represented as:
0----------30----------54 Answer: 30
There fractions not whole numbers ._.
Apologies for the misunderstanding. To add 54 + (-24) using fractions on a number line, we can divide the number line into equal intervals.
First, we divide the number line into 10 equal intervals, with each interval representing a fraction of 1/10. Starting at 0, we move 5 intervals to the right to reach 54.
0---1/10---2/10---3/10---4/10---5/10---6/10---7/10---8/10---9/10---10/10 (54)
Next, we move 2 intervals to the left for -2/10, representing (-20).
0---1/10---2/10---3/10---4/10---5/10---6/10---7/10---8/10---9/10---10/10 (54)

(-2/10)
The point we reach is 4/10 or 0.4, which is equivalent to the fraction 2/5.
Therefore, 54 + (-24) equals 0.4 or 2/5.
Tht was wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.
To add 54 + (-24) using fractions on a number line, we can again divide the number line into equal intervals.
We start at 0 on the number line and move 54 units to the right.
0 --- 54
Next, we need to move -24 units to the left. Since we are working with fractions, let's divide the intervals into smaller units. Let's divide the line into 8 equal parts, where each part represents 1/8.
0 --- 54
-1/8 - 2/8 - 3/8 - 4/8 - 5/8 - 6/8 - 7/8 - 8/8
We start at 54 and move 3 intervals to the left for -3/8.
0 --- 54

-3/8
The point we reach is -3/8.
Therefore, 54 + (-24) equals -3/8.
To add 54 and -24 using a number line, follow these steps:
Step 1: Start at the number 54 on the number line.
Step 2: Move 24 units to the left to represent -24.
Step 3: The point you land on is the sum of 54 and -24.
Therefore, the sum of 54 + (-24) on the number line is 30.
To add 54 + (-24) using a number line, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Start by drawing a number line with a range that includes both numbers you want to add. In this case, you can draw a number line from -30 to 60.
Step 2: Locate the starting point for the first number, which is 54, and mark it on the number line.
Step 3: Since we need to add -24, we move 24 units in the negative direction (to the left) from the starting point.
Step 4: Start at 54 and count backward 24 units on the number line, marking the position where you end up.
Step 5: The position where you marked after counting backward 24 units is the answer.
In this case, starting at 54 and moving backward 24 units on the number line lands on 30. Therefore, 54 + (-24) equals 30.
Alternatively, you can simply use a calculator or mental math to find the sum. 54 + (-24) is the same as 54 - 24, which equals 30.
