Answer:

See attachment for number line

Step-by-step explanation:

Given


Ian = (6)/(8)


Anna = (3)/(4)

Required

Number line to represent both amounts

The interval on the number line is 16.

So, we need to calculate the position of both as thus.


Ian = (6)/(8) * 16 = (96)/(8) = 12


Anna = (3)/(4) * 16 = (48)/(4) = 12

So, both will be positioned on the 12th position.

The yellow dot represents Anna while the blue dot represents Ian

See attachment for their position on the number line
