explain how to use a number line to find a decimal equivalent to 1 7/10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given with a mixed fraction \(1\frac{7}{10}\)
To solve the given mixed fraction, we will have to split it and perform addition
\(1\frac{7}{10} = 1 + \frac{7}{10}\)
⇒\(1\frac{7}{10} = \frac{7}{10}\)
⇒\(1\frac{7}{10} = 0.7\)
now to find \(0.7\), as it is a positive real number, hence it would line to the right of \(0\) on the number line between \(0\) and \(1\)
also as the midpoint between \(0\) to \(1\) will be at \(\frac{1}{2}\) or \(0.5\) therefore \(1\frac{7}{10}\) will be slightly closer to \(1\) on the number line.
