We can represent mixed numbers with number lines.
For example, let's write the number shown on the number line below as a mixed number.
First, notice that the line segment from to is split into equal parts.
We can land on our point by making whole step plus part steps (out of a possible
Therefore, the mixed number is
What mixed number is shown on the number line?
The line segment from to is split into equal parts. Each part represents of a whole.
Starting from zero, we land on our point by making whole steps plus part step:
Therefore, the mixed number is
