Placing fractions on a number line
A fraction is a number with a location on the number line. Between zero and one, the denominator tells how many equal intervals make a whole, and the numerator tells how many intervals to move from zero.
A method you can use
- Locate zero and one to establish the size of a whole.
- Divide that interval into the denominator’s number of equal spaces.
- Count spaces from zero, not tick marks. Continue beyond one when the numerator is larger than the denominator.
Worked examples
Where is 5/4?
- Four quarter-spaces reach 1.
- Move one more quarter-space.
Answer: 1 1/4
Why do 1/2 and 2/4 share a point?
- Two quarter-spaces have the same length as one half-space.
- Both are halfway from 0 to 1.
Answer: They are equivalent fractions

1. What fraction is at the third mark after zero when 0 to 1 is divided into five equal intervals?
Show answer and explanation
3/5
Each step is one fifth; three steps make three fifths.
2. Write 6/4 as a mixed number.
Show answer and explanation
1 1/2
Four fourths make one, leaving two fourths, or one half.
Before you begin
