Question

In the given number line, what is the fraction that point A denotes?

Answer 1

Between 2 and 3, the line is divided into 7 parts.

We know, $2=\frac{14}{7}$ and $3=\frac{21}{7}.$

Thus, the divisions between 2 and 3 marked in the figure correspond to the fractions $\frac{15}{7},\frac{16}{7},\frac{17}{7},\frac{18}{7},\frac{19}{7}$ and $\frac{20}{7}.$

$\therefore$ The point A corresponds to the fraction $\frac{18}{7}.$
