The following numbers are shown on the number line: −1.8, 0.8, 3.1, −1.2, 234. Which number is represented by point B?
(1 point)
A. −1.8
B. 234
2 Start Fraction 3 over 4 End Fraction
C. 0.8
D. −1.2
The number represented by point B is 0.8.
To find the number represented by point B on the number line, we need to identify the position of point B and then determine the corresponding number.
Looking at the options given:
A. −1.8 is not the number represented by point B.
B. 234 is also not the number represented by point B.
C. 0.8 is not the number represented by point B either.
D. −1.2 might be the number represented by point B.
Since the other options are not correct, we can conclude that the number represented by point B is −1.2.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
D. −1.2
