3.6 + (-2.4) = p

Kelly says that point pis plotted to the right of both 3.6 and -2.4 on the number line because addition means you should move right on the

number line.

• Explain how the location of p on the number line is related to the locations of 3.6 and -2,4 on the number line.

Answer:

Kelly is incorrect because she added the two numbers on the number line that made no since.

P would have equaled 1.2

3.6+(-2.4) = 1.2 which is what p equals

The value of P is 1.2
