Question

What is the position of F on the number line below? write your answer as a fraction or mixed number​

Answer 1

F is on
`(3)/(4)` on the number line

Explanation:

Notice in the image that between 0 and 1 there are 4 subdivisions.

Then divide.

`(1)/(4) = 0.25`.

Each subdivision is equal to 0.25 units.

Point F is in the third subdivision.

This means that the distance between 0 and F is:

`(1)/(4)*3 = (3)/(4) = 0.75`.

Finally F is on
`(3)/(4)` on the number line

Answer 2

`(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

There are 4 steps to complete to go from 0 to 1. Hence each step is:

1 out of 4, or simply
`(1)/(4)`

F is located at the 3rd mark, which will be
`(1)/(4)+(1)/(4)+(1)/(4)=(3)/(4)`

Hence, F is located at
`(3)/(4)`
