(b) choose the correct statement.
∘ 1 is located to the left of 6.
∘ 1 is located to the right of 6.
(buttons for selection)
(c) use <, >, or = to complete the statement.
1 square 6
(buttons for selection)

Explanation:

Part (a)

To plot 1 and 6 on the number line:

• The number line has marks. We can see that 1 is already marked, and 6 would be further to the right of 1 (since numbers increase as we move right on the number line). So we place 1 at its existing mark and 6 at the appropriate position further right from 1 (e.g., if each major mark is a unit, 6 would be 5 units to the right of 1).

Part (b)

On a number line, numbers increase as we move from left to right. Since \(1 < 6\), 1 is to the left of 6.

Since 1 is less than 6 (because as we move from left to right on the number line, values increase, and 1 is to the left of 6), we use the less - than symbol.

Answer:

1 is located to the left of 6.
