A number line represents the value of a number as a distance from zero.

On a horizontal number line, positive numbers are to the right
of zero, and negative numbers are to the left of zero.

A number line can represent a fraction or decimal by dividing
the space between two consecutive integers into equal parts.

Then, locate

\frac{2}{3}

1 \frac{1}{2}

, and 2.75 on the number line.

On a horizontal number line, a number to the left of a number is less than that number, and a number to the right of a number is greater than that number.

So, the numbers from least to greatest are

- 5, \frac{1}{4}, 0.9, \frac{5}{3}, 3 \frac{4}{5}
