Joe, Larry, Jose and Billy were working together on their

math assignment. They needed to plot 11780

on a number

line. Their teacher heard the following comments as she

monitored the class.

Joe: I think we should place it between 1 15

and 1 14

but

nearer to 1 15

than 1 14

.

Larry: I disagree with Joe because 11780

is larger than

1 14

but we should plot it just right of 1 14

.

Jose: I disagree with Joe and Larry both as I believe

1 1780

should be plotted to the left of 1 15

because it is

smaller than 1 15

.

Billy: I agree with Larry except I think we should plot it

very near 1 14

Which team member’s comments are correct?

A Larry

B Joe

C Billy

D Jose
