How would I plot and label the numbers 6.5 & 8.5 on a number line to write a inequality using the symbol “>” to compare the two numbers

To label 6.5 on a number line, put the plot between the 6 and 7.

Same thing goes for 8.5, except the plot would go between the 8 and 9.

8.5 > 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Since 8.5 and 6.5 are decimals, they are not a whole number which is why they go right in the middle of the two numbers they are behind and in front of.

2.) > means greater than, and 6.5 is smaller than 8.5 therefore we use the greater than sign, pointed towards the 8.5.

I hope this helps! :)
