I have three fractions 7/2 3/2 5/2 I have to place them on a number line where do I put them
To place fractions on a number line, you need to consider their values and compare them.
First, let's convert the fractions into decimals for easier comparison:
7/2 = 3.5
3/2 = 1.5
5/2 = 2.5
Now, we can place them on the number line. Start by locating the midpoint between 0 and 1, which is 0.5.
On the number line:
- Place 3.5 slightly to the right of 0.5, as it is closer to the whole number 4 than to 3.
- Place 1.5 between 1 and 2.
- Place 2.5 between 2 and 3.
Your number line should look like this:
0 1 2 3 4
├───┼─┼─┼─┼─
1.5 2.5 3.5
Remember that fractions represent points in between the whole numbers.
