Question

Write fractions for points A and B on the number line

Answer 1

Given: The line from 0 to 1 is divided in 6 parts and has two points. A and B marked on it.

To find:The fraction for point A and B.

Explanation: The length from 0 to 1 is divided into 6 parts.

Therefore, the length of one part will be 1/6.

The point A is markes at the second division.

Since, 1 division= 1/6

therefore, 2 divisions will be = 2x(1/6)

Therefore, the point A will correspond to the fraction

`\begin{gathered} A=2*(1)/(6) \\ =(2)/(6) \\ =(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Now the next pint B lets count its division.

It is marked at the fifth division.

Therefore, the fraction representing B can be written as:

`\begin{gathered} B=5*(1\text{ division\rparen} \\ =5*(1)/(6) \\ =(5)/(6) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the point B can be represented as 5/6.

Final answer : Point A = 1/3

and point B = 5/6.
