Question

Determine the fraction that best represents Point B on the number line below. (Please explain in detail, I forgot how this works.)

Answer 1

Answer:

$B\rightarrow \frac{2}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number lines has 8 units between 0 to 1.

Since the points lies between 0 and 1, so the points must represent numbers that are greater than 0 and less than 1.

Thus we can conclude that the points between 0 to 1 represent fractions.

Since there are 8 units between 0 to 1 so, we can put fractions with denominator 8 as the line is divided into 8 parts and the numerator keeps increasing as we go from left to right starting from 1.

So,the points on the number line are as follows:

$0,\frac{1}{8},\frac{2}{8},\frac{3}{8},\frac{4}{8},\frac{5}{8},\frac{6}{8},\frac{7}{8},1$

The point B represents fraction $\frac{2}{8}$ as it is the second part of the 8 parts of the line.  (Answer)
