You can put this solution on YOUR website!
On the number line, you represent the number 9 as the point where you land jumping 9 units to the right from zero.
You represent the number 12%2F5=2.4 as the point where you land jumping 12%2F5=2.4 units to the right from zero.
You represent adding those numbers as jumping both jumps, one after the other.
On the 3 number lines below, I represented 9 , 12%2F5 , and 9%2B12%2F5 .
