Question

(b) plot \\(\frac{3}{5}\\) and 55% on the number line.
number line from 0 to 1 with marks at 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1
below: use <, >, or =

Explanation:

Step1: Convert fraction to decimal

$\frac{3}{5} = 3 \div 5 = 0.6$

Step2: Convert percentage to decimal

$55\% = \frac{55}{100} = 0.55$

Step3: Locate values on number line

0.55 aligns with the marked "0.55" tick; 0.6 aligns with the marked "0.6" tick.

Answer:

• Plot $\frac{3}{5}$ (which equals 0.6) at the tick labeled "0.6" on the number line.
• Plot 55% (which equals 0.55) at the tick labeled "0.55" on the number line.
