Answer:
It is given that red dot is about halfway between 12 and 13.
Draw a number line.Mark points on it on as 1,2,3,.....12,13,...20.
Label 12 as point M and label 13 as N.
Mid point of MN=[tex]\frac{12+13}{2}[/tex]
=25/2
=12.5
Mark 12.5 as T.
MT =NT
The Red dot is at point N at a distance of 12.5 units from the origin.
