Question

graph \\(\frac{2}{4}\\) and \\(\frac{1}{4}\\) on the number line.
(an image of a number line with 0, a blue dot, and 1 marked)

Explanation:

Step1: Divide interval 0-1 into 4 parts

The distance between 0 and 1 is split into 4 equal segments, each representing $\frac{1}{4}$.

Step2: Locate $\frac{1}{4}$ on the line

$\frac{1}{4}$ is the first mark to the right of 0.

Step3: Locate $\frac{2}{4}$ on the line

$\frac{2}{4}$ is the second mark to the right of 0 (equivalent to $\frac{1}{2}$).

Step4: Plot the points

Mark $\frac{1}{4}$ at the first division, and $\frac{2}{4}$ at the second division on the number line between 0 and 1.

Answer:

• $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{4}}$ is plotted at the first equal division mark to the right of 0.
• $\boldsymbol{\frac{2}{4}}$ (or $\frac{1}{2}$) is plotted at the second equal division mark to the right of 0.

(Visual: The number line from 0 to 1 has 3 intermediate marks, splitting it into 4 equal parts. The first mark is $\frac{1}{4}$, the second is $\frac{2}{4}$, the third is $\frac{3}{4}$.)
