For parts (a)-(d), on the number line below, locate and label a point representing each fraction described.
a. a fraction close to but greater than 1
b. a fraction close to but less than -1
c. a fraction close to but greater than 1 1/2
d. a fraction close to but less than -1 1/2

Answer 1

To locate and label marks on a number line for given numbers and fractions, follow the steps provided. Additionally, to locate fractions close to but greater than 1, start with the point representing 1 and add the appropriate fraction to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

To locate and label marks for 244, 1 9/10, and 15/4 on the number line, follow these steps:

1. Start by marking the whole numbers on the number line. Label the point representing 244.

2. To mark 1 9/10, break it down into a mixed number: 1 + 9/10. Locate the point for 1 on the number line and then add 9/10 of a unit to the right.

3. Similarly, break down 15/4 into a mixed number: 3 + 3/4. Locate the point for 3 on the number line and then add 3/4 of a unit to the right.

To locate points representing fractions close to but greater than 1, you can use a similar approach. For example, if you need to locate a fraction close to but greater than 1, such as 2/3, find the point for 1 on the number line and then add 2/3 of a unit to the right.
