Question

Draw a number line that shows two equivalent fractions.label your number line and explain how you know the fractions are equivalent

Answer 1

Answer:

It is required to draw a number line showing equivalent fractions.

'Equivalent fractions' are the fractions having same value even though the digits involved are different'.

For example: Consider, $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{4}$.

Now, we have,

$\frac{1}{2}$ = 0.5

$\frac{2}{4}$ = 0.5

Thus, the both fractions have the same value, even though we are dividing different digits.

Thus, $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{4}$ are called equivalent fractions.

So, we plot them on the number line, resulting in the following figure with point P = 0.5.
