Question

Draw number lines and locate the following points:
(i) $\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{4},\frac{4}{4}$
(ii) $\frac{1}{8},\frac{2}{8},\frac{3}{8},\frac{5}{8},\frac{7}{8}$
(iii) $\frac{2}{5},\frac{3}{5},\frac{4}{5},\frac{8}{5}$

Answer 1

(i) Draw a number line. Mark 0 as the starting point and 1 as the ending point.
Then, divide 0 to 1 in four equal parts, where each part is equal to 1/4.
Show the consecutive parts as 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and at 1 show 4/4 = 1.



(ii) Draw 0 to 1 on a number line. Divide the segment into 8 equal parts, each part corresponds to 1/8. Show the consecutive parts as 1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8 and 8/8. Highlight the required ones only.



(iii) Draw 0 to 2 on a number line. Divide the segment between 0 and 1 into 5 equal parts, where each part is equal to 1/5.
Show 2/5, 3/5, 4/5 and 8/5 3 parts away from 1 towards 2. (1 < 8/5 < 2)
