Step-by-step explanation:
She can number the number-line from 1 to 12 and divide it evenly by 4 and see how many groups of 4 she has . For example, starting from 1 to 4 is one jump, starting from 4 to 8 is another jump, and from 8 to 12 is another jump and that is it because 12 is the largest number,which means she has 3 groups of 4. And 12 divide by 4 is indeed 3.
Answer:
Maria can plot the points 0 and 12 on the number line, then divide the distance between them into 4 equal parts. The location of the point closest to zero is the result of the division operation. (It will be 3 on the number line.)
