Decimals: example 5.6

The decimal $\mathrm{-0.74}$ is equivalent to $-\frac{74}{100},$ so it is located between $0$ and $\mathrm{-1}.$ On a number line, mark off and label the multiples of $-0.10$ in the interval between $0$ and $\mathrm{-1}$ ($\mathrm{-0.10}$, $\mathrm{-0.20}$, etc.) and mark $\mathrm{-0.74}$ between $\mathrm{-0.70}$ and $\mathrm{-0.80,}$ a little closer to $\mathrm{-0.70}$.
