Question

There are three equally spaced planks in a meter long track.

To represent the above correctly, choose the number line with the correct number of divisions required.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Since there are three planks to be represented on a number line,
each division will have value 1/3.
Therefore, the required values are 0, 1/3, 2/3, 1.

Hence, to represent three planks on a number line, one unit needs to be divided into three equal divisions. So, option (a) is the correct number line.
