Answer 1

The point on the number line represents C) $\frac{1}{4}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The distance between 0 and 1 is split into 4 partitions.

The value for each distance is given by dividing the difference by the number of partitions; $\frac{1-0}{4} = \frac{1}{4} .$

So each partition represents a value of  $\frac{1}{4} .$

Step 2:

The value of the first partition; $(1)(\frac{1}{4} )= \frac{1}{4} ,$,

The value of the second partition; $(2)(\frac{1}{4} )= \frac{1}{2} ,$

The value of the third partition; $(3 )(\frac{1}{4}) = \frac{3}{4}$,

The value of the fourth partition; $(4 )(\frac{1}{4}) = 1.$

The point on the number line is in between the zero and the second partition so it is the first partition which has a value of $\frac{1}{4} .$
