Answer:
P is represented by number -1.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number P on number line.
To find the number that is represented by P.
Solution:
In order to identify the number represented by P, we will trace the location of P on the number line.
The number line represents units from -5 to 5 to the nearest 0.5 units.
From the number line, we can see that P lies between -1 and -2.
Since, the number line represents to the nearest 0.5 units so we we add 0.5 to the left number or subtract 0.5 units from the right number.
So P can be given as :
⇒ [tex]-2+0.5=-1.5[/tex]
Or
⇒ [tex]-1-0.5=-1.5[/tex]
Thus, P is represented by number -1.5.
