Answer 1

if 8 equal parts then we have 16 parts

O is at zero

16 as at 2

and

29 is away from 2 between 3 and 4

We know this as 16 + 16 is 32 which is 4

count 3/8 between 4 and 3 and when counting 3/8 back we get 29.

Explanation:

If 29 meant to be 2/9 then we are still at 2/8 and show the second part 0-1

if 16 was meant to be 1/6 then we know 1/6 is still closer to 1/8 and we show the first divided equal part 1/8

Zero stays 0
