Question
Represent
on the number line.
Solution


Mark the distance 4.7 units from a fixed point A on a given line to obtain a point B such that AB = 4.7 units. From B, mark a distance of 1 unit and mark the new point as C. Find the mid-point of AC and mark that point as O. Draw a semicircle with centre O and radius OC. Draw a line perpendicular to AC passing through B and intersecting the semicircle at D. Then, 

Now, let us treat the line BC as the number line, with B as zero, C as 1, and so on. Draw an arc with centre B and radius BD, which intersects the number line in E.
Then, E represents
