Take some examples of rational numbers proper and improper and represent in the number line
and send me the pictures of proper and improper numbers in number line
Answers
Answer:
Rational numbers can be easily represented on number line by just following some simple steps. Representation on number line depends upon the type of rational fraction is to be represented on the line. But before going to the number line don’t forget to check for the negative and positive sign of the rational number. Positive rational numbers are always represented on the right side of the zero on the number line. While negative rational numbers are always represented on the left side of zero on the number line.
Proper fraction
As we know that 45 is a positive and that too proper fraction, so it will lie at the right side of the zero and will be less than 1. To do so first we will divide number line between zero and one into 5 equal parts. 45will be the fourth part of five equal parts. Let us represent this on the number line:
Improper fraction
Since the given fraction is negative and is an improper fraction, so, it will lie on the left side of the zero on the number line and before we need to convert it into mixed fraction. The mixed fraction conversion of the given improper fraction is -1 13.
So, the fraction will lie between -1 and -2. To represent it we will divide the number line between -1 and -2 into three equal parts and the first part of the three parts will be the required rational fraction. This can be represented as:
