Question

Arrange the following numbers according to their places on the number line with the leftmost number on top.

• A. 17
• B. 0.0
• C. 9
• D. 12

Answer 1

We need to arrange the given numbers in ascending order or the increasing order.

If a number is greater than another, it will lie to the right of the other on the number line.

$\therefore$ 9 lies to the right of 0 on the number line.

Similarly, 12 lies to the right of 9 and 17 lies to the right of 12.

$\therefore$ The order is 0, 9, 12 and 17.
