Question

1. determine the fraction that corresponds to point a on the number line.

a.
b.

1. which letter represents $\frac{1}{4}$ on the number line?
2. which letter represents $\frac{3}{8}$ on the number line?

Explanation:

Step1: Solve 1a: Find fraction for point A

The number line spans 0 to 1, split into 3 equal parts. Point A is at the 1st part.
$\text{Fraction} = \frac{1}{3}$

Step2: Solve 1b: Find fraction for point A

The number line spans 0 to 1, split into 6 equal parts. Point A is at the 2nd part.
$\text{Fraction} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$

Step3: Solve 2: Locate $\frac{3}{4}$ on number line

The number line spans 0 to 1, split into 4 equal parts. $\frac{3}{4}$ is the 3rd mark.
This corresponds to point D.

Step4: Solve 3: Locate $\frac{5}{8}$ on number line

The number line spans 0 to 1, split into 8 equal parts. $\frac{5}{8}$ is the 5th mark.
This corresponds to point E.

Answer:

1a. $\frac{1}{3}$
1b. $\frac{1}{3}$

1. D
2. E
