(i) Divide the number line from 0 to 1 into 8 equal parts and take out 3 parts from it to reach point P.



(ii) Divide the number line from 0 to 1 into 9 equal parts and take out 5 parts from it to reach point P

.

(iii) Divide the number line from 0 to 1 into 7 equal parts and take out 4 parts from it to reach point P.



(Iv) Divide the number line from 0 to 1 into 5 equal parts and take out 2 parts from it to reach point P.



(v) Divide the number line from 0 to 1 into 4 equal parts and take out 1 part from it to reach point P.
