CHAPTER-7: FRACTIONS

SUBTOPIC: Fraction on the number line

Number Line: In math, a number line is a straight line with numbers placed at
equal intervals or segments along its length.
A number line can be extended infinitely in any direction, and we usually represent it
horizontally. The numbers on the number line increase as we move from left to right and
decrease moving from right to left.

Steps to make a fraction number line:

Step 1: Draw a number line with whole numbers.

Step 2: Look for the denominator of the fractions we want to show on the number line.
For example, To show fourths on the number line.

Step 3: Mark as many points between each whole division as the denominator.
For example, to show fourths, divide each unit division into 4 parts

Step 4: Write the fractions with the denominator.
For example, we want to show fourths, So, the denominator of the fractions will be 4.

Step 5: Write the numerators as 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.
