Answers
Answer:
We already know how to represent whole numbers on the number line. Let us consider the image shown, here, the digits 0 and 1 are represented on the number line.
Representation of 0 and 1 on The Number Line
If we divide the number line into two equal parts, as shown in the figure below, what value does that mid-point hold? Half of what the graduation between 0 and 1 holds.
So, the point represents (1-0)/2 = ½

Fraction on the Number Line
We represent whole numbers and integers on the number line. Similarly, we represent fractions on the number line as well.
Problems: Draw number lines and locate the points on them : 1/4
The denominator is given as 4. So, the unit length between two numbers will be divided into 4 equal parts.
¼ means one part out of four. So, it is marked on the number line at ¼ and it lies between 0 and 1.
Problems: Draw number lines and locate the points on them : 8/5
The denominator is 5. Now, the unit length between two numbers will be divided into 5 equal parts.
Now 8/5 is located on the number line between 1 and 2.
