Question

How do you put 5/2 on a number line 

Answer 1

Convert 5/2 to a mixed number first:  

Divide 5 by 2; 2 will go into five 2 times with a remainder of 1.  This means the whole number portion of the mixed number is 2, and the remainder of the fraction is 1; this gives us 2 1/2.

To plot 2 1/2, plot a point halfway between 2 and 3.

Answer 2

Make it a whole number(2.5) and put it between the 2 and 3
