Question

A bus covered the colored part of the total distance shown on the given number line. Which of the following is the correct representation of distance covered by the bus?

• A. $\frac{3}{8}$
• B. $\frac{3}{7}$
• C. $\frac{4}{6}$
• D. $\frac{4}{7}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{3}{7}$

The total distance to be covered by the bus is the whole.
Observing the figure, we can see that the whole is divided into 7 equal parts. The portion of the distance covered by the bus is represented here. The bus covered 3 out of the total 7 parts.

Therefore, fraction of distance covered by the bus = $\frac{3}{7}$
