Represent each of the following rational numbers on the number line:

(i) 5 (ii) -3


(iii) (iv) (v) 1.3


(vi) -2.4 (vii)

(i) Given number = 5


First draw a line and mark the origin Zero. The given number 5 is positive so we are going to locate it on the right side of the zero.



(ii) Given = -3


First draw a line and mark the origin Zero. The given number is negative (-3) so we are going to locate it on the left side of the zero.



(iii) Given = 5/7


First draw a line and mark the origin Zero. The given number is positive so we are going to locate it on the right side of the zero.



(iv) Given = 8/3


First draw a line and mark the origin Zero. The given number is positive so we are going to locate it on the right side of the zero.



(v) Given = 1.3


First draw a line and mark the origin Zero. The given number 1.3 is positive so we are going to locate it on the right side of the zero.



(vi) Given = -2.4


First draw a line and mark the origin Zero. The given number -2.4 is negative so we are going to locate it on the left side of the zero.



(vii) Given = 23/6


First draw a line and mark the origin Zero. The given number is positive so we are going to locate it on the right side of the zero.
