Question

How do we represent 5/6 on a numbr line

Answer 1

First let's analyze this problem : 5/6 obviously lies between 0 and 1 as it is a proper fraction. An easy way to plot this on the number line is by dividing the space between 0 and 1 into six equal parts(five divisions) signifying 1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 4/6, 5/6 respectively. Then mark the division before 1,i.e. the fifth division which is 5/6. Another way is to simply convert it as a decimal : 0.83. For this, divide the space between 0 and 1 into ten parts ( this is the standard scale) and mark the eighth division ( a bit to the right of it as it is 0.03+0.8). If you see both these lines/points on the line should Co incide.
