Show the following number on the number line (a) 0.2

To represent 0.2 on a number line, follow these steps:

Draw the number line: Start by drawing a horizontal line. Mark the integers 0 and 1 on the line, ensuring they are spaced evenly.

Divide the interval between 0 and 1: Since we want to locate 0.2, divide the space between 0 and 1 into 10 equal parts. Each part represents 0.1.

Locate 0.2: Count two divisions to the right of 0. Each division corresponds to 0.1, so two divisions equal 0.2.

Mark the point: Mark the point on the number line at this position and label it as 0.2.

Thus, 0.2 is located two-tenths of the way from 0 towards 1 on the number line.
