Understanding Tenths on Number Line
Hemi, Oliver and Ruben are travelling by ferry. The trip is 1 kilometre long. Use the number lines and tenths to help them track how far the ferry has travelled. Remember: each equal step from 0 to 1 is one tenth, or 0.1.
Read and locate tenths
Each small interval represents 0.1 of a kilometre.
1.The ferry has travelled to the marked point. What distance has it travelled?
- 0.4 km
- 0.5 km
- 0.6 km
- 0.7 km
2.Oliver says 0.3 is halfway between 0 and 1. Is he correct? Choose the value that is halfway and explain briefly.
3.Hemi spots a buoy at 0.3 km. On the number line, mark 0.3 with an arrow. Label your arrow.
4.Fill the gaps in this counting pattern of tenths: 0.1, , 0.3, , 0.5, , 0.7, , 0.9.
Compare and order the ferry distances
The ferry log records distances as decimal parts of 1 kilometre.
5.At two checkpoints, the ferry travelled 0.4 km and then 0.8 km from the start. Which distance is farther from 0? Explain how you know.
6.Write <, > or = to make each statement true: (a) 0.5 __ 0.3 (b) 0.7 __ 0.9 (c) 0.4 __ 0.4 (d) 0.1 __ 0.6.
7.Put the checkpoint distances in order from nearest to farthest from the start: 0.8 km, 0.2 km, six tenths of a kilometre, 0.4 km.
8.Ruben records 0.9 km, and Oliver records six tenths of a kilometre. Who has travelled farther, and by how many tenths of a kilometre?
9.The ferry has travelled 0.7 km of its 1 km route. How many tenths of a kilometre are left to travel?
10.Draw a number line from 0 to 1. Divide it into ten equal parts and label 0.2, 0.5 and 0.9 in the correct places.
