Question

Parker marks sixths on number line. He writes 5/6 just before 1. What fraction does he write on the first mark to the right of 1?

Answer 1

Answer:

$7/6$

Explanation:

$1/6 \approx 0.16666$

$2/6 \approx 0.33333$

$3/6 = 0.5$

$4/6 \approx 0.66666$

$5/6 \approx 0.83333$

$6/6=1$

$7/6 \approx 1.16666$

Answer 2

Answer: 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

If he is writing sixths, then we have multiples of 1/6.

this is:

0*(1/6) = 0

1*(1/6) = 1/6

.

.

.

5*(1/6) = 5/6 (the numer he wrote at the left of 1)

6*(1/6) =  6/6 = 1

7*(1/6) = 7/6

So the number next to 1, (at the right of 1) must be 7/6.

You also can find it by adding 1/6 to 1.

1/6 + 1 = 1/6 + 6/6 = 7/6.
