Here are the solutions to the questions:

1. Plot -2.8 on the numberline.

Working out:
To plot −2.8-2.8, locate −2-2 on the number line. Then, move 0.8 units to the left. Since each small tick mark represents 0.2 units, moving 0.8 units to the left means moving 0.8/0.2=40.8 / 0.2 = 4 tick marks to the left from −2-2.

Answer:
A point should be placed on the number line at the fourth tick mark to the left of −2-2.

Number line with point at -2.8:\text{Number line with point at -2.8:} ←——−4——−3——−2——−1——0——1——2——3→\leftarrow\text{---}\underset{-4}{\text{---}}\text{---}\underset{-3}{\text{---}}\text{---}\underset{-2}{\text{---}}\text{---}\underset{-1}{\text{---}}\text{---}\underset{0}{\text{---}}\text{---}\underset{1}{\text{---}}\text{---}\underset{2}{\text{---}}\text{---}\underset{3}{\text{---}}\rightarrow The point for -2.8 is between -3 and -2, four small ticks to the left of -2.\text{The point for -2.8 is between -3 and -2, four small ticks to the left of -2.} It is also one small tick to the right of -3.\text{It is also one small tick to the right of -3.} See diagram below for plotted point\boxed{\text{See diagram below for plotted point}}

(Since I cannot draw on the image, I will describe the location for plotting.)
The point for −2.8-2.8 is located between −3-3 and −2-2. It is 0.2 units to the right of −3-3 (or 0.8 units to the left of −2-2).

2. What number does the arrow point to on the number line?

Working out:
The arrow is located between −2-2 and −1-1.
There are 5 small intervals between −2-2 and −1-1. This means each small interval represents 15=0.2\frac{1}{5} = 0.2 units.
The arrow points to the second small tick mark to the right of −2-2.
So, the value is −2+(2×0.2)=−2+0.4=−1.6-2 + (2 \times 0.2) = -2 + 0.4 = -1.6.

Answer:

−1.6\boxed{-1.6}

3. Write the next three multiples of 17.
17, 34, 51, 68, 85, \text{___}, \text{___}, \text{___}

Working out:
To find the next multiples, we add 17 to the previous multiple.
The last given multiple is 85.
Next multiple 1: 85+17=10285 + 17 = 102
Next multiple 2: 102+17=119102 + 17 = 119
Next multiple 3: 119+17=136119 + 17 = 136

Answer:

102,119,136\boxed{102, 119, 136}
