Represent-2/8 on the number line
Answers
Answer:
Representing fractions on number line shows the intervals between two integers which will help us to increase the basic concept on formation of fractional numbers.
1. Represent the fractions: 2/5, 11/5, -8/5 and -3/5 on a number line.
Since, the denominator of each given fraction is 5; divide the space between every pair of two consecutive integers (on the number line) in 5 equal parts. Each part so obtained will represent the fraction 1/5 and the number line obtained will be of the form:
Representing Fractions on Number Line
To mark 2/5; move two parts on the right-side of zero.
To mark 11/5; move eleven parts on the right-side of zero.
To mark -8/5; move eight parts on the left-side of zero.
To mark -3/5; move three parts on the left-side of zero.
The following diagram shows markings of fractions 2/5, 11/5, -8/5 and -3/5 on a number line.

2. Represent the following fractions: 1/4, 7/4, -3/4 and -9/4 on a number line.
Since, the denominator of each given fraction is 4; divide the space between every pairs of two consecutive integers (on the number line) in 4 equal parts. Each part so obtained will represent the fraction 1/4 and the number line obtained will be of the form:
Fractions on the Number Line
To mark 1/4; move one part on the right-side of zero.
To mark 7/4; move seven parts on the right-side of zero.
To mark -3/4; move three parts on the left-side of zero.
To mark -9/4; move nine parts on the left-side of zero.
The following diagram shows markings of fractions 1/4, 7/4, -3/4 and -9/4 on a number line.

3. Draw a number line to represent fractions: 3/8, 5/8, -1 3/8, -7/8
Since, the denominator of each given fraction is 8; divide the space between every pairs of two consecutive integers (on the number line) in 8 equal parts. Each part so obtained will represent the fraction 1/8 and the number line obtained will be of the form:
Fraction Number Line
To mark 3/8; move three parts on the right-side of zero.
To mark 5/8; move five parts on the right-side of zero.
To mark -1 3/8 i.e. -11/8; move eleven parts on the left-side of zero.
To mark -7/8; move seven parts on the left-side of zero.
The following diagram shows markings of fractions 3/8, 5/8, -1 3/8, -7/8 on a number line.
