On representing it on a number line, it needs equal division.

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is C 5

Here, to represent five planks on the number line, one unit should be divided into five divisions such that:

Each division has the value $\frac{1}{5}$.

Therefore, the value are:
0, $\frac{1}{5}$, 2 $\times$ $\frac{1}{5}$, 3 $\times$ $\frac{1}{5}$ , 4 $\times$ $\frac{1}{5}$ , 5 $\times$ $\frac{1}{5}$

or

0, $\frac{1}{5}$, $\frac{2}{5}$, $\frac{3}{5}$, $\frac{4}{5}$, 1
