The task in the image involves practicing decimal numbers to the tenths place using a number line. The goal is to identify and mark the correct position of given decimal numbers on the number line.
Explanation of the Problem:
1.
Understanding Decimal Numbers to Tenths:
- Decimal numbers to the tenths place are numbers that have one digit after the decimal point (e.g., 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, etc.).
- These numbers fall between whole numbers on a number line. For example, 0.5 is halfway between 0 and 1.
2.
Number Line Structure:
- Each number line in the worksheet is divided into 10 equal segments between two consecutive whole numbers.
- Each segment represents an increment of 0.1 (one-tenth).
3.
Task:
- You need to locate and mark the given decimal numbers on the number line by placing a dot at the correct position.
Solution Approach:
Let’s solve this step by step for a few examples:
#### Example 1: Marking 0.4 on the Number Line
-
Step 1: Identify the range. The number 0.4 falls between 0 and 1.
-
Step 2: Divide the segment from 0 to 1 into 10 equal parts. Each part represents 0.1.
-
Step 3: Count 4 segments from 0. The fourth segment will be at 0.4.
-
Step 4: Place a dot at the end of the fourth segment.
#### Example 2: Marking 1.7 on the Number Line
-
Step 1: Identify the range. The number 1.7 falls between 1 and 2.
-
Step 2: Divide the segment from 1 to 2 into 10 equal parts. Each part represents 0.1.
-
Step 3: Count 7 segments from 1. The seventh segment will be at 1.7.
-
Step 4: Place a dot at the end of the seventh segment.
#### Example 3: Marking 2.3 on the Number Line
-
Step 1: Identify the range. The number 2.3 falls between 2 and 3.
-
Step 2: Divide the segment from 2 to 3 into 10 equal parts. Each part represents 0.1.
-
Step 3: Count 3 segments from 2. The third segment will be at 2.3.
-
Step 4: Place a dot at the end of the third segment.
General Steps:
1. Identify the range of the decimal number (between which two whole numbers it lies).
2. Divide the segment between those two whole numbers into 10 equal parts.
3. Count the appropriate number of segments based on the decimal value.
4. Place a dot at the correct position.
Final Answer:
For each decimal number provided in the worksheet, follow the steps above to mark its position on the number line. If you provide specific decimal numbers from the worksheet, I can demonstrate the solution for those as well.
