Question

Decimals describe part of a whole number, so you find them between two whole numbers on the number line. 264.5 is really 264 and 5 ⁄ 10 (five tenths). So you zoom into the space between 264 and 265 and break it into 10 equal pieces. 264.5 is located on the fifth "tenth" mark. Where would you find 45.3 on the number line?
