Question

$\text{The stop signal is placed}\frac{2}{5}\text{km after the warning}$
board which is placed at position '0'. To place the stop signal at the correct position, find the number of divisions required between 0 and 1.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\text{Here, since}\frac{2}{5}<1$
So, it will be placed between 0 and 1.

$\frac{2}{5}\text{km = 2 parts out of 5 parts}$

So, the number line between 0 and 1 needs to be divided into 5 equal divisions
$\text{to locate}\frac{2}{5}\text{km as shown below:}$


Hence, third option is the correct answer.
