Answer:

The fraction that named point b is one-quarter

Explanation:

Given

Nunber line divided into 8 parts (see attachment)

Required

Name the fraction

Your question is incomplete. However, I'll make use of my attachment to answer the question.

If you follow the steps I'll highlight, you'll arrive at your answer.

To name a fraction using a number line, first you need to count the total number of partitions on the number line.

In this case, it is 8.

Then we count the number of partitions or points from the index point till the point that needs to be named.

Between index 0 and point b, there are 2 points.

The next step is to represent this using a fraction.

The fraction is 2/8

I.e 2 points out of a total of 8 points

Fraction = 2/8 (Simplify fraction)

Fraction = ¼

The fraction can no longer be simplified;

The next step is to name it.

¼ in words in 0ne quarter.

Hence, the fraction that named point b on the number line is one-quarter
