Question

Which of the following shows $1\frac{1}{4}$ and $2\frac{5}{8}$ on a number line?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Step 1:
Consider a number line and divide each unit into 8 equal parts on number line here.

Step 2:
To plot $1\frac{1}{4}$ or $1\frac{2}{8}$, we put a point between 1 and 2; then mark 2 units to the right of 1

Step 3:
To plot $2\frac{5}{8}$, we put a point between 2 and 3; then mark 5 units to the right of 2.
