Question

If point B is halfway between 0 and 1 on a number line and point A is halfway between 0 and point B, what fraction of 1 does point A represent?

Answer 1

So B is halfway between 0 and 1. What's half of 1? 1/2.

A is halfway between 0 and B. What's half of 1/2? 1/4.

So A is 1/4 of 1.

Alternatively -

0 - A - B - - - 1

If each - is an eighth, A is at 2/8, or 1/4

Answer 2

So B is halfway between 0 and 1. What's half of 1? 1/2.

A is halfway between 0 and B. What's half of 1/2? 1/4.

So A is 1/4 of 1.

Alternatively -

0 - A - B - - - 1

If each - is an eighth, A is at 2/8, or 1/4
