On what type of lines do whole numbers represented?
Dear Student,
A number line is a way of representing numbers visually on a straight line. A straight line is divided into a number of parts with a unit distance between them. By representing a whole number on a number line, we can easily tell the difference between two numbers and make comparison between them.

Below are the steps the whole numbers to represent on number line:
- Draw a straight line.
- Mark a point at the extreme left as 0.
- Mark another points to the right of 0. Label them as 1, 2, 3,… The distance between these marks must be uniform. They are said to be at a unit distance from one another.
