Tell how u could use a number line to determine which of two number is greater
As you move to the right, the numbers are larger.
As you move to the left, the numbers are smaller.
You could use a number line to
The numbers on the right are always greater you can use a number line to go from least to greatest
....i don't remember writing that when did i get so good at math?
To use a number line to determine which of two numbers is greater, follow these steps:
1. Draw a number line with zero in the center.
2. Mark the first number on the number line by placing a point or a tick mark.
3. Mark the second number on the number line by placing another point or tick mark.
4. Compare the positions of the two marks on the number line.
If the mark representing the first number is to the left of (or further negative than) the mark representing the second number, then the second number is greater. If the mark representing the first number is to the right of (or further positive than) the mark representing the second number, then the first number is greater.
For example, if you have the numbers 3 and 8, you would mark 3 to the left of zero and mark 8 to the right of zero. You can clearly see that the mark for 8 is to the right of the mark for 3, indicating that 8 is greater than 3.
Using a number line provides a visual representation that helps in understanding the relative positions of numbers and their magnitudes.
