Using the division equation
, the number line visually illustrates that making 6 jumps of size 4 each from 0 to 24 results in reaching the quotient 6.
Consider the division equation
To represent this on a number line from 0 to 10, you can start at 0 and make jumps of 4 units until reaching 24, counting the number of jumps. This visually illustrates the concept of division.
On the number line, start at 0, make the first jump of 4 units to reach 4, the second jump to reach 8, the third jump to reach 12, the fourth jump to reach 16, and finally, the fifth jump to reach 20. The sixth jump takes you to 24.
Counting the number of jumps, you find that it takes 6 jumps of size 4 to reach 24. This corresponds to the division equation
.
Mathematically, this can be represented as
The number line serves as a visual aid to understand the process of division and how the dividend (24) is divided into equal parts (4) to get the quotient (6).
