The number line is divided into four equal parts, so the point on the number line represents the fraction 1/4.

Hence, option (c) is the correct choice.

Look at the number line and count the number of equal parts it is divided into. In this case, there are four equal parts.

The fraction representing a point on a number line is equal to the number of parts the point is to the right of zero divided by the total number of parts.

The point on the number line in the image is to the right of one part, and there are four parts total. Therefore, the fraction representing the point is 1/4.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question will be (c) i.e. 1/4.

The point on the number line represents C)
(1)/(4).

Explanation:

Step 1:

The distance between 0 and 1 is split into 4 partitions.

The value for each distance is given by dividing the difference by the number of partitions;
(1-0)/(4) = (1)/(4) .

So each partition represents a value of
(1)/(4) .

Step 2:

The value of the first partition;
(1)((1)/(4) )= (1)/(4) ,,

The value of the second partition;
(2)((1)/(4) )= (1)/(2) ,

The value of the third partition;
(3 )((1)/(4)) = (3)/(4),

The value of the fourth partition;
(4 )((1)/(4)) = 1.

The point on the number line is in between the zero and the second partition so it is the first partition which has a value of
(1)/(4) .
