Mark the points -0.5, 1/4, -3/4 and 0.6 on the number line. Counting from the left, which position (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th) does 1/4 take?

Question

Accepted Answer

3rd. As decimals: -3/4 = -0.75, -0.5, 1/4 = 0.25, 0.6. In order: -0.75, -0.5, 0.25, 0.6. So 1/4 (0.25) is the 3rd from the left.

Mark the points -0.5, $\frac{1}{4}, - \frac{3}{4}$ and 0.6 on the number line. Counting from the left, which position (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th) does $\frac{1}{4}$ take?
