Nico wants to use a horizontal number line to compare 13 4 and 1.5. He is unsure how to do it and asks you for help. How would you explain the process?

Sample Response: 13    

Step-by-step explanation:

4 is equal to 1.75. I would plot 1.5 and 1.75 between 1 and 2, but 1.75 would be closer to 2. Since 1.75 is further to the right, it is greater than 1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3
