Question

$\text{The stop signal is placed}\frac{2}{5}\text{miles after}$
$\text{the warning board which is placed at}$
$\text{position '0'.}$

To place the stop signal at the correct position, choose the number line with the correct number of divisions required between 0 and 1.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\text{Since}\frac{2}{5}\text{miles is less than 1, it is}$
$\text{placed between 0 and 1.}$

$\frac{2}{5}\text{parts means 2 parts out of 5 parts.}$

So, the number line between 0 and 1 needs to be divided into 5 equal divisions.

Then, the stop signal needs to be placed on second part as shown below.


Hence, third option is the correct answer.
