Question

Move the fractions to the correct places on the number line.

Answer 1

First let's calculate each fraction in their decimal form:

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(8)=0.25 \\ (4)/(8)=0.5 \end{gathered}`

Both fractions are between 0 and 1. Placing them in the number line, we have:

We have 8 divisions between 0 and 1, so the fraction 2/8 will be in position 2 after the zero and the fraction 4/8 will be in position 4 (in the middle of the line).
