Question

Which of these is representing $\frac{8}{3}$?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

To represent an improper fraction on a number line let's change it to a mixed number.
Changing $\frac{8}{3}$ into its mixed number
8 can be expressed as $3\times 2+2$
$(\because 3\times 2=6\text{and}6+2=8)$

$\frac{8}{3}=\frac{3\times 2+2}{3}$
$=\frac{3\times 2}{3}+\frac{2}{3}$
$=2+\frac{2}{3}$
$=2\frac{2}{3}$

Hence, an arrow should point at the second point after the whole number 2

Option C is correct
