-18.26 and -2.45 on the number line
To represent -18.26 and -2.45 on a number line, we would mark -18.26 to the left of 0 and -2.45 to the left of -18.26.
Here is a visualization:
-18.26 -2.45 0
Thus, -18.26 is further to the left (i.e., smaller) than -2.45 on the number line.
To plot -18.26 and -2.45 on the number line, follow these steps:
Step 1: Draw a horizontal line. This line represents the number line.
Step 2: Find the zero (0) point on the line. This point represents the origin.
Step 3: Mark a point to the left of the origin at -18.26. To do this, measure from the origin to the left, and place a point at that distance.
Step 4: Mark a point to the right of the origin at -2.45. To do this, measure from the origin to the right, and place a point at that distance.
Step 5: Label the points with their respective values (-18.26 and -2.45).
Step 6: Double-check your work to ensure the points are correctly placed on the number line at their respective locations.
Congratulations! You have plotted -18.26 and -2.45 on the number line.
