those images are in the same directory with html file , you only need to write file name 

          <img src="numbers-01.jpg" alt="">

<img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt"">

this has syntax error

should be <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">

Also if you dont see images on your page, you should check relative paths of them.

According to your code, directory must be like that:

-root --index.html --img (folder) ---numbers-01.jpg ---numbers-02.jpg
