Solution: 4.26 = 4. 2626 (upto 4 decimal places)
We notice that 4.26 lies between 4 and 5. For visualizing 4.26 on the number line,
first consider a number line and then, we will look at the portion on the number line
between 4 and 5. And divide this into 10 equal parts and mark each point of the
division as shown below in figure. The first mark will represent 4.1, second mark will
represent 4.2 and so on. Now, 4.26 lies between 4.2 and 4.3. So, we will closely
focus on the portion between 4.2 and 4.3. Again, divide this portion in ten equal
parts. The first mark will represent 4.21, the second mark will represent 4.22 and so on.
Again, 4.26 lies between 4.26 and 4.27. So, we will closely focus on the portion
between 4.26 and 4.27. Again, divide this portion in ten equal parts. The first mark
will represent 4.261, the second mark will represent 4.262 and so on. Again, 4.26 lies between 4.262 and 4.263. So, we will closely focus on the portion between 4.262 and 4.263. Again, divide this portion in ten equal parts. The first mark will represent
4.2621, second mark will represent 4.2622 and so on.
So, 4.26 = 4. 2626 is the 6th mark in these subdivisions. Therefore, this is the
visualization of the number 4.26 = 4. 2626 (upto 4 decimal places) on the number
line.
