Question

Explain how you can use a number line to show that 5/8 is greater than 3/8

Answer 1

Hi!

So here's how you'd visualize it!

<---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---->
0 1/8 2/8 3/8 4/8 5/8

As represented in the number line, 5/8 is farther up the number line than 3/8, meaning that 5/8 is larger than 3/8.
