Read the values of points \(K\), \(L\), and \(M\) on the number line. Write each value as a decimal and as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form.
Figure for problem 535395

Hints

- Count the equal intervals from \(0\) to \(1\) to find the tick spacing. - Use the tick spacing to read each point. - Write each decimal as tenths and simplify.

Solution
