Represent on number line.

Step-by-step solution

17 can be written as 17 = 16 + 1 = 4 2 + 1 2 OB = On the number line, we mark OA = 4 units, AB = 1 unit and AB ⊥ OA at A. Using a compass with centre O and radius OB, draw an arc intersecting the number line at the point P. Then point P corresponds to on the number line as shown in figure.
