We have previously looked at how to plot decimals on a number line. Let's practice.
What number is shown on the following number line?
10 hundredths make 1 tenth. The larger the number, the further to the right it will be on a number line.
We can zoom in and divide \dfrac{1}{100} into 10 equal pieces to show \dfrac{10}{1000}, which we can then use to plot thousandths.
This video shows us how.
Plot 0.332 on the number line.
To plot a decimal with thousandths, we can plot the hundredth before and after the decimal and divide the line between them into 10 spaces, where each space represents a thousandth.
From the smaller hundredth, we can count to the right how many thousandths there are in the decimal.
This video shows how to read numbers off of a number line for numbers in the thousandths.
What number is shown on the following number line?
10 hundredths make 1 tenth.
10 thousandths make 1 hundredth.
