Book Free DemoThe numbers with more decimal expansions (like 1.278, 3.4218,...) cannot be located directly on the number line.
To resolve this issue, we are going to learn the concept called 'Successive magnification'.
The process of visualisation of representation of numbers on the number line through a magnifying glass is called the process of successive magnification.
Procedure for the process of successive magnification:
Step 1: Locate the range of number[nearest smallest and largest integers.]
Step 2: Look for the range of the number on the number line and magnify that range alone. That is, divide the portion into 10 parts.
Step 3: Now let us look for the number with the first decimal point on the number line and find the range of that.
Step 4: Again magnify the range and divide the portion into 10 parts.
Step 5: Now look for the number with two decimal point on the number line.
Step 6: Repeat the process until you locate the entire decimals on the number line.
Example:
Represent the number 1.257 on the following number line.
Step 1: The range of the number 1.257 is 1 and 2.
Step 2: Look for the range of the number on the number line and magnify that range alone. That is, divide the portion into 10 parts.
Step 3: Now let us look for the number with the first decimal point on the number line and find the range of that.
Step 4: Again magnify the range and divide the portion into 10 parts. Now look for the number with two decimal point on the number line.
Step 5: Again magnify the range and divide the portion into 10 parts. Now look for the number with three decimal point on the number line.
Thus, we located the number 1.257 on the number line by the process of successive magnification.
