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

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,
`(1)/(2)` and
`(2)/(4)`.

Now, we have,

`(1)/(2)` = 0.5

`(2)/(4)` = 0.5

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

Thus,
`(1)/(2)` and
`(2)/(4)` are called equivalent fractions.

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