Another way to model fractions is with a point on a number line from to
In this case,
the denominator is the total number of equal parts that the line is split into, and
the numerator is the number of steps to the point from (left to right).
For example, let's find the fraction represented by the number line below.
Notice that the line is split into equal parts. And the number that we are interested in is located steps from (left to right).
Therefore, the picture represents the fraction
What fraction is represented on the number line above?
Notice that the line is split into equal parts.
The number we are interested in is located step from (left to right).
Therefore, the picture represents
