Tenths on a Number Line
Use the number lines to solve each challenge. Remember: each equal step from 0 to 1 is one tenth, or 0.1.
At the Market
A market stall has a metre-long ribbon marked in tenths. Read the number lines and help sort the ribbons.
1.The ribbon line runs from 0 m to 1 m in tenths. A label is placed at the third tick after 0. Write its decimal length and its fraction of a metre.
2.A second ribbon is labelled at the eighth tick after 0 on this 0-to-1 metre line. What decimal length is it?
3.On this number line, the arrow points to the fifth tick after 0. Which decimal does it show?
- 0.4
- 0.5
- 0.6
- 5.0
4.A customer asks for nine tenths of a metre. Which fraction names the ninth tick after 0?
- 9/10
- 1/9
- 0.09
- 9/100
Plan a Ribbon Display
Use the empty number line to place the ribbon lengths in the right positions.
5.Mark and label these three lengths on the number line: A = 0.2 m, B = 6/10 m, and C = 0.9 m. Put each label beside its tick.
6.Mark a point at 4/10 on this number line. Write the same amount as a decimal.
7.Order these ribbon lengths from shortest to longest: 0.7 m, 0.3 m, 0.9 m, 0.1 m.
8.Mereana has ribbons measuring 3/10 m and 0.5 m. Which is longer? Explain using tenths.
9.True or false: 0.6 is the same amount as 6/10. Give one reason for your answer.
