Tenths on Number Lines

At a weather station, Losa and Wiremu record rainfall in tenths of a litre. Use each number line to read, plot and compare the readings. Remember: each small step is one tenth.

Read the rainfall scale

Each number line runs from 0 to 1 litre and is divided into tenths.

1.Losa's rain gauge shows the marked point. Which amount of rain is it?
00.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.91
  • 0.3 L
  • 0.4 L
  • 0.6 L
  • 0.8 L
2.Wiremu spots a reading at 0.2 L. Write this amount as a fraction with denominator 10.
00.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.91
3.A forecast marker is placed at 0.8 L. Which labelled point has that value?
00.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.91
  • A at 0.3
  • B at 0.5
  • C at 0.8
  • D at 0.9

Label the marked points from left to right: A, B, C, D.

Plot and complete

Put each reading in its correct place on a number line.

4.Plot an arrow at 0.3 L on the number line.
00.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.91
5.Plot and label these three readings on the same number line: 7/10 L, 0.2 L and 0.9 L.
00.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.91
6.Fill the missing decimal readings in this sequence: 0.1, __, 0.3, __, 0.5, __, 0.7, __, 0.9.

Compare the readings

Use the number line to decide which amounts come first and which are greater.

7.Which reading is greater: 0.4 L or 6/10 L?
00.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.91
  • 0.4 L
  • 6/10 L
  • They are equal
8.Order the readings from smallest to largest: 0.8 L, 3/10 L, 0.5 L, 1/10 L.
00.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.91
9.A rain gauge reads 0.7 L. Is that more or less than 4/10 L? Explain how their positions on a number line show this.
00.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.91
