QuestionDexter caught 9 fireflies, which is fewer than the number of fireflies Jenna caught. On the number line, plot the points that could represent the number of fireflies Jenna caught in the park.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. Dexter caught 9 fireflies.
2. Jenna caught more fireflies than Dexter.
3. We need to plot points on a number line that represent the possible number of fireflies Jenna caught.
STEP 2
1. Define the relationship between the number of fireflies caught by Dexter and Jenna.
2. Determine the range of possible values for the number of fireflies Jenna caught.
3. Plot the points on the number line.
STEP 3
Define the relationship between the number of fireflies caught by Dexter and Jenna.
Since Dexter caught 9 fireflies and Jenna caught more, we can express this relationship as:
where represents the number of fireflies Jenna caught.
STEP 4
Determine the range of possible values for the number of fireflies Jenna caught.
Since , Jenna could have caught any number of fireflies greater than 9. This means the possible values for are .
STEP 5
Plot the points on the number line.
To represent the possible number of fireflies Jenna caught on a number line, you would place an open circle at 9 (indicating that 9 is not included) and shade or mark all numbers greater than 9.
