Problem 2 Graphing Numbers on the Number Line Got It? What is the graph of the numbers !3, 1.4, and 1 ? 3
8. Reasoning Why should your first step be to write all of the numbers as decimals? Place a in the box if the response is correct. Place an if it is incorrect. It is easier to compare numbers when they are all in the same form. There are fewer decimals than radicals or fractions. Radicals cannot be written as fractions. 9. Write each number as a decimal. Round to the nearest hundredth.
