Question

Using the number line write the integer which is 3 more than 5.

Answer 1

Hint: A number line is the straight line with numbers placed at equal intervals or segments along its length. On a number line numbers increase as one moves from left to right and numbers decrease when one moves from right to left. Here we have to find the integer which is 3 more than 5. So, firstly mark the number 5 on the number line. As the required number is 3 more than 5, move 3 steps or intervals towards the right side of the number line. The point where you will reach will be the required integer.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Before solving the problem let us understand what number line is first.
A number line is the straight line with numbers placed at equal intervals or segments along its length. It is usually represented horizontally and it can be extended infinitely in any directions.
Number line is having all positive and negative integers with zero. Zero is the middle point on the number line. All positive numbers will be at the right side of the number line and all negative numbers will be at the left side of the number line. As we move from one point to another point on the number line in the left side direction then the number will decrease and the final reach point number will be less than the first point and if we move in the right side direction then the number will increase and the final reach point will be more than the first point.
Here we have to find the number which is 3 more than 5.
So, firstly mark the first point 5 on the number line. This is shown in the diagram below.

We have to find the number which is 3 more than 5. The final number is more than the first number so we will move 3 steps towards the right side on the number line.

Here on the number line the final reach point is 8. So integer 8 is 3 more than 5.

Note: Using the number line similarly we can find the number which is less than the given number. For this move towards the left side. Using the number line we can add two numbers, subtract two numbers and multiply two numbers. We can also compare numbers regarding greater or lesser. For addition of numbers on number line first mark first number then move towards right side exact steps as second number. Final point will be the addition of two numbers. Similarly for subtraction move exact steps as second number towards left side from first number on number line. For multiplication of two numbers, from the first number take the jump of exact length as the second number. Take total jumps exact to the first number. Final point will be multiplication of two numbers.
