first, look at the whole number if it is 12, it will go near the 1 on the number line, next look at the fraction,
if its 1/2 change it to be 2/4. Next count the lines in between the number. There are 4 lines. If it is 3/4, count 3 lines and put the fraction there. So 41/4 would be the 4 and 1 line next to it.
