Question

What fraction does the arrow represent?

• A. $3\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $2\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $2\frac{3}{4}$
• D. $3\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2\frac{1}{2}$

On the number line each unit is divided into two equal parts so, the denominator is 2, hence each part is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$ of a unit.
Arrow is pointing on first part after 2. Hence, the fraction represented is $2\frac{1}{2}$
