Question

Draw a number line to represent $\frac{5}{4}$.

Answer 1

Step 1: Converting to mixed fraction:
We know that $\frac{5}{4}$ is an improper fraction. So, we can convert it into a mixed fraction.

$\therefore \frac{5}{4}=1\frac{1}{4}$

Step 2: Representing $\frac{5}{4}$ on the number line:

Now, $1\frac{1}{4}$ lies between $1$ and $2$.

So, dividing into $4$ sub-parts between the integer values.

The first division after $1$, represents $1\frac{1}{4}$.

Thus, $\frac{5}{4}$ on the number line is represented as follows:
