CHAPTER-7: FRACTIONS

SUBTOPIC: Fraction on the number line

Number Line:
 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.

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.
