Transcript text: What is the position of $A$ on the number line below?
Write your answer as a fraction or mixed number.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the scale of the number line.
The number line is marked from 0 to 3. Each unit is divided into 5 equal parts, so each tick mark represents 1/5 or 0.2.
Step 2: Determine the position of A.
Point A is located at the 4th tick mark after 2.
Since each tick mark is 1/5, the position of A is $2 + \frac{4}{5} = 2\frac{4}{5}$.
Also, we can represent it as an improper fraction: $2\frac{4}{5} = \frac{14}{5} = 2.8$.
Final Answer
\\(\boxed{2\frac{4}{5}}\\) or \\(\boxed{\frac{14}{5}}\\)
