On the double number line, we are given that it cost Hassan $5.31 to send 59 text messages.
Let's label the missing values as "x" (dollars) and "1" (text messages).
Since we know that it cost $5.31 to send 59 text messages, we can set up the proportion:
$5.31 / 59 = x / 1
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and divide:
x = ($5.31 * 1) / 59
x = $0.09
Therefore, each text message costs $0.09 to send.
