Answer:

B. The other number is located above 6 1/2 on the vertical number line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Lesser\ Number = 6\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Let the other number be n such that:

[tex]n > 6\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

On a horizontal number line; number increases from left to right.

This means that n will be at the right and [tex]6\frac{1}{2}[/tex] will be at the left

Or

On a vertical number line; number increases from bottom to top.

This means that n will be at the top and [tex]6\frac{1}{2}[/tex] will be at the bottom

From the list of given options, option B is correct.
