#### Answer

The blue dot indicates the graph of the number.

#### Work Step by Step

The distance from 0 to 1 is called the unit distance. Numbers to the right of the origin (0) are positive and numbers to the left of the origin are negative. Real numbers are graphed on a number line by placing a dot at the correct location for each number. The number $\displaystyle \frac{11}{3}=3\frac{2}{3}$ is positive, and is located $3\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}$ units to the right of 0. (Or, one third the unit distance to the right of 3)
