Move the \orange{\text{ORANGE_DOT}}
to
\orange{NUMBER}
on the number line.
We know where 0
is on the number line because it is labeled.
We know each tick mark represents SCALE
because -SCALE
and SCALE
are labeled.
Because NUMBER
is negative, it will be to the left of 0
.
Because NUMBER
is positive, it will be to the right of 0
.
Each tick mark represents SCALE
,
so NUMBER
will be
abs(round(NUMBER / SCALE))
tick marks
to the left of 0
.
Each tick mark represents SCALE
,
so NUMBER
will be
abs(round(NUMBER / SCALE))
tick marks
to the right of 0
.
The orange number shows where NUMBER
is on the number line.

Where is the blue dot on the number line?
We know where 0
is on the number line because it is labeled.
We know each tick mark represents SCALE
because -SCALE
and SCALE
are labeled.
Because the blue dot is to the left of 0
, the number will be negative.
Because the blue dot is to the right of 0
, the number will be positive.
The blue dot represents the number NUMBER
.
Where is the blue dot on the number line?
We know where 0
