Question

Which of the following image represents $\frac{77}{5}$ on the number line.

• A.
• B.
• C.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

First, convert $\frac{77}{5}$ into the mixed fraction.

$\therefore \frac{77}{5}$ = $\frac{15\times 5+2}{5}$ = $15\frac{2}{5}$

15 represents the whole number so, we start from 15 and divide the section between 15 and 16 into 5 equal parts (5 being the denominator).
The point plotted on the number line represents $15\frac{2}{5}$ which equals to $\frac{77}{5}$
