Answer:

The answer is D; Hanna is not correct,. The fraction 1/4 is equal to 2/8, so you can graph it on the second tick mark to the right of zero.

Explanation:

Because the number line is broken up into 8 parts, the points on the graph are, 1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 8/8 (also known as one)

1/4 = 2/8. We know this because if we multiply 1/4 by 2, we get 2/8.

So, because 2/8 is the same as 1/4, we know that Hanna is not correct, and that you can graph 1/4 on this number line, because it is the same as 2/8.

I hope that this helps :)
