Question

represent 8/3 on number line

Answer 1

Answer:

Point A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $\frac{8}{3}$

To Find : represent 8/3 on number line

Solution:

Convert the fraction into decimal

So,  $\frac{8}{3}=2.66666666667$

So, it will lie between 2 and 3

Refer the attached figure .

Point A shows $\frac{8}{3}$ on the number line

Answer 2

Given:

The number is $\dfrac{8}{3}.$

To find:

The location of $\dfrac{8}{3}$ on the number line.

Solution:

We have,

$\dfrac{8}{3}=\dfrac{6+2}{3}$

$\dfrac{8}{3}=\dfrac{6}{3}+\dfrac{2}{3}$

$\dfrac{8}{3}=2+\dfrac{2}{3}$

It means the number $\dfrac{8}{3}$ lies between 2 and 3.

Now, mark two points A and B between 2 and 3 to divide the number line between 2 and 3 in three equal parts.

First point :$A=2+\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{7}{3}$

Second point :$B=2+\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{8}{3}$

Therefore, the location of $\dfrac{8}{3}$ on the number line is at point B as shown below.
