Question

Stacy needs 3 over 5 of a yard of ribbon to make a bow for her daughter. Which number line shows the point that represents 3 over 5?

Answer 1

The first number line.

Explanation:

If you look closely, the number line is divided into 10 parts.

So, we would have to convert 3/5 into a fraction with a denominator of 10.

To do so, we can multiply by 2

3 x 2 = 6

5 x 2 = 10

Thus, our converted fraction is 6/10

As you can see, the first number line has a point exactly on the 6th line from 0.

So, that means that the fraction is represents is 6/10.
