Answer 1

Answer:

The first step is to draw a number line that spans from 0 to 1.

This will serve as your one whole.

It doesn't matter how long the number line will be, as long as it goes from 0 to 1.

Be sure to mark 0 on one end, and 1 on the other end.

Next, look at the denominator of the fraction you want to show.

Do you still remember what a denominator is?

That's right!

Denominator shows the total number of parts the whole is divided into. It's the bottom number in a fraction.

Make 1/4

Since you want to show the fraction 1/4, you need to divide the number line into 4 equal parts or segments.

Number line divided into 4 equal parts

Now you have 4 equal parts on the number line.

Tip: To make 4 parts, you only have to draw 3 marks!

Each part of this number line is 1 out of 4 equal parts.

This means that each part in this number line shows 1/4.

Each part of the number line is one-fourth the whole

Make 3/4

Let's show the fraction 3/4 this time.

Look at the numerator.

Do you remember what numerator is?

That's right!

The numerator shows the parts that we have. It's the top number.

This means that the fraction 3/4 is 3 out of 4 equal parts.

So, count 3 parts from 0 and you will get 3/4.
