Question

answer the parts below.
(a) plot 3 and 2 on the number line below.

(b) choose the correct statement.
☐ 3 is located to the left of 2.
☐ 3 is located to the right of 2.
(c) use <, >, or = to complete the statement.
3 ☐ 2

Explanation:

Part (A)

To plot 3 and 2 on the number line:

• Locate the position of 2: Since the number line has marks, 2 is 2 units to the right of 0.
• Locate the position of 3: 3 is 3 units to the right of 0, which is to the right of 2's position. You would place a dot (or use the plotting tool) at the position corresponding to 2 and another at the position corresponding to 3 on the number line (where each major or minor tick represents the appropriate value, with 0 in the middle, positive numbers to the right).

Part (B)

Step1: Recall number line direction

On a number line, numbers increase as we move to the right (and decrease to the left).

Step2: Compare 3 and 2 positions

Since \( 3 > 2 \), 3 is further to the right than 2. So the correct statement is "3 is located to the right of 2".

Step1: Recall number line and inequality

On the number line, a number to the right of another is greater. Since 3 is to the right of 2, \( 3 > 2 \).

Answer:

3 is located to the right of 2 (the option with this text, e.g., if it was option B, then B. 3 is located to the right of 2)
