Question

How do you understand what happens on a fraction number line and how do you know where the fraction is. Tell me how we will be able to know what we will have to do to know where the number is on the fraction number line like for example: 2/3 as a fraction. So where is 2/3 as a fraction on a fraction number line?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

understand what the fraction means

Explanation:

First of all, you need to understand what 2/3 means. It means 1 whole has been divided into 3 equal parts, and you're concerned with 2 of those parts.

In the number line in the first attachment, the space between 0 and 1 has been divided into 3 equal parts. The decimal value (rounded) is shown at each tick mark. The point marked "2/3" is located at the second of those divisions, counting from zero.

__

The same fraction is located on the same number line in the second attachment. That number line is marked with divisions at intervals of 1/10, so there are 10 of them between 0 and 1. The value 2/3 is represented by the point that is (2/3)(10) = 6 2/3 of those intervals, so is between 0.6 and 0.7 on the number line.

__

If the number line were divided into 12ths, then the fraction 2/3 would be located at the 8th tick mark, counting from 0. (2/3)(12) = 8 That is shown in the third attachment.
