#### Number Line:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
-1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2
```
#### Steps:
1. $-\frac{1}{3}$:
- This is a negative number, so it lies to the left of 0.
- $\frac{1}{3} \approx 0.33$, so $-\frac{1}{3} \approx -0.33$.
- Place it one-third of the way from 0 to -1.
2. $1 \frac{2}{3}$:
- Convert $1 \frac{2}{3}$ to an improper fraction: $1 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$.
- $\frac{5}{3} \approx 1.67$.
- Place it two-thirds of the way from 1 to 2.
#### Final Plot:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
-1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2
| |
-1/3 1 2/3
```
---
#### Number Line:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
0 0.5 1 1.5 2
```
#### Steps:
1. $\frac{2}{3}$:
- $\frac{2}{3} \approx 0.67$.
- Place it two-thirds of the way from 0 to 1.
2. $1 \frac{1}{3}$:
- Convert $1 \frac{1}{3}$ to an improper fraction: $1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}$.
- $\frac{4}{3} \approx 1.33$.
- Place it one-third of the way from 1 to 2.
#### Final Plot:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
0 0.5 1 1.5 2
| |
2/3 1 1/3
```
---
#### Number Line:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
-1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2
```
#### Steps:
1. $-\frac{1}{2}$:
- This is a negative number, so it lies to the left of 0.
- $-\frac{1}{2} = -0.5$.
- Place it exactly halfway between 0 and -1.
2. $1 \frac{3}{4}$:
- Convert $1 \frac{3}{4}$ to an improper fraction: $1 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{7}{4}$.
- $\frac{7}{4} = 1.75$.
- Place it three-fourths of the way from 1 to 2.
#### Final Plot:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
-1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2
| |
-1/2 1 3/4
```
---
#### Number Line:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
0 0.5 1 1.5 2
```
#### Steps:
1. $\frac{1}{4}$:
- $\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$.
- Place it one-fourth of the way from 0 to 0.5.
2. $1 \frac{2}{4}$:
- Simplify $1 \frac{2}{4}$: $1 \frac{2}{4} = 1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$.
- $\frac{3}{2} = 1.5$.
- Place it exactly at 1.5.
#### Final Plot:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
0 0.5 1 1.5 2
| |
1/4 1 2/4
```
---
#### Number Line:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
-2 -1.5 -1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2
```
#### Steps:
1. $-1 \frac{1}{2}$:
- Convert $-1 \frac{1}{2}$ to an improper fraction: $-1 \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{3}{2}$.
- $-\frac{3}{2} = -1.5$.
- Place it exactly at -1.5.
2. $1 \frac{4}{6}$:
- Simplify $1 \frac{4}{6}$: $1 \frac{4}{6} = 1 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$.
- $\frac{5}{3} \approx 1.67$.
- Place it two-thirds of the way from 1 to 2.
#### Final Plot:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
-2 -1.5 -1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2
| |
-1 1/2 1 4/6
```

#### Number Line:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3
```
#### Steps:
1. $1 \frac{1}{3}$:
- Convert $1 \frac{1}{3}$ to an improper fraction: $1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}$.
- $\frac{4}{3} \approx 1.33$.
- Place it one-third of the way from 1 to 2.
2. $2 \frac{5}{6}$:
- Convert $2 \frac{5}{6}$ to an improper fraction: $2 \frac{5}{6} = \frac{17}{6}$.
- $\frac{17}{6} \approx 2.83$.
- Place it five-sixths of the way from 2 to 3.
#### Final Plot:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3
