Question 651763
please help me solve how to plot 13/5 on a number line
<pre>
First change it to a mixed number {{{2&3/5}}}

{{{2&3/5}}} is between 2 and 3, closer to 3.

Draw a number line:

This would be 2 plotted on a number line:

-------------------------------------&#9899;------------------
-4    -3    -2    -1     0     1     2     3     4     5

This would be 3 plotted on a number line:

-------------------------------------------&#9899;------------
-4    -3    -2    -1     0     1     2     3     4     5

So to plot {{{2&3/5}}} you would estimate about {{{3/5}}}ths 
of the distance from 2 toward 3, like this, and put the 
mark there:

-----------------------------------------&#9899;--------------
-4    -3    -2    -1     0     1     2     3     4     5
