Answer 1

Amy is correct, -7.1 is between -7 and -8.  

What is the number pattern?

A number pattern is a pattern in a series of numbers that represents the common relationship between the numbers.

Two students were asked to graph a rational number -7.1.

Amy states that The number is between -8 and -7, but Laura states that the point is between -7 and -6.

In order to be in between -6 and -7, the number would have to be a decimal with a whole number of 6.

But -7.1 has a whole number of 7 then it is in between -7 and -8.

Thus, Amy is correct, -7.1 is between -7 and -8.
