Answer:

mark two points 1.75 and 1.5 on number line and make a number line from -1 to 2 where each point is 0.25 units away

Then compare 1.75 and 1.5 on number line

[tex]1.5 < 1\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Given :

Nico wants to use a horizontal number line to compare 1 3/4 and 1.5

Explanation :

Lets write the fraction in decimal form to compare and mark it on number line

[tex]1\frac{3}{4} =1.75[/tex]

Now mark two points 1.75 and 1.5 on number line

Make a number line from -1 to 2 where each point is 0.25 units away

Mark a number line that are 0.25 units away using below numbers

-1, -0.75, -0.5, -0.25, 0, 0.25, 0.5,0.75,1,1.25,1.5,1.75,2

On the number line ,

1.5 comes first

1.75 is next to 1.5

From this number line we can see that 1.5 is less than 1.75

[tex]1.5 < 1\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
