Question

Jean climbed 2/3 of the distance to the top of the cliff as shown on the number line. Terry climbed 1/3 of the distance less than Jean. Steve climed 1/5 of the distance more than Jean. Drag the correct points to the correct locations on the number line.

Answer 1

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Jean = \frac{2}{3}$

$Terry = \frac{1}{3}$

$Steve = \frac{1}{5}$

Required

Represent them on number line

Start by getting the LCM of the denominators of the three fractions;

The denominator are: 3 and 5

$LCM = 15$

This means that, the number line will be divided into 15 partitions;

Next, we get the position of each fraction as follows;

$Jean = \frac{2}{3} * 15$

$Jean = \frac{30}{3}$

$Jean = 10$

Jean will be represented on the 10th point

$Terry = \frac{1}{3} * 15$

$Terry = \frac{15}{3}$

$Terry = 5$

Terry will be represented on the 5th point

$Steve = \frac{1}{5} * 15$

$Steve = \frac{15}{5}$

$Steve = 3$

Steve will be represented on the 3rd point
