If you plot the point -8.85 on number line, would you place it to the left or right of -8.8? explain.

The left,
Heres how

Just pretend there is a zero on the end of -8.8 So its -8.80

Now you have -8.85 and -8.80.
Now take away the - signs.

Now you have 8.85 and 8.80.

85 is more than 80.

Here is it on a number line:

___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|
80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88
^^^ ^^^
You may think that it would be to the right. But thats not the case.

Now because its in the minus instead of the right its to the left. Here is a example on the number line but using smaller numbers.

___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|
-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5

Now ill show you with our real numbers

-8.85 and -8.80

|||||||
-8.85 -8.84 -8.83 -8.82 -8.81 -8.80 -8.79

That means -8.85 is on the left of -8.8 (-8.80)
