Question

Represent $\frac{2}{7}$ on a number line.

Answer 1

Let us represent $\frac{2}{7}$ on a number line.

Draw a number line and mark points at equal intervals. Let these points represent the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3,.....

The number is greater than 0 but less than 1. So, divide the distance between 0 and 1 in 7 equal parts (7 is the denominator of $\frac{2}{7})$. Each part represents $\frac{1}{7}$. The point P in the above figure represents the fraction $\frac{2}{7}$.
