To graph each rational number on a number line, follow these steps:
1. Draw a straight line and label it with numbers evenly spaced. Start from a number smaller than the smallest rational number you need to graph and go up to a number larger than the largest rational number.
2. Mark the location of each rational number on the number line. Start with the first rational number and locate it on the number line by placing a dot or a small line segment above the corresponding number.
- For the rational number -3, mark it on the number line by locating -3.
- For the rational number -1.5, locate it on the number line by finding the point halfway between -1 and -2.
- For the rational number 0.4, locate it on the number line by finding the point between 0 and 1/2. Since 0.4 is equivalent to 2/5, you can divide the space between 0 and 1/2 into 5 equal parts and count 2 parts from the 0.
3. Connect the dots or line segments to indicate the position of each rational number on the number line.
After following these steps, you should have a graph showing the locations of each rational number on a number line.
