Fractions on a Number Line - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

Let's count how many points including the number 1 are on the number line.

Since there are 6 in total, we will define the point 1 as the fraction:

$\frac{6}{6}$

Since

$\frac{6}{6}=\frac{1}{1}=1$

The number marked on the number line is 1

Let's count how many points, including the number 1, there are on the number line.

Since there are 6 in total, we'll define the 0 point as the fraction:

$\frac{0}{6}$

We'll also define 1 as the following fraction:

$\frac{6}{6}$

Now let's fill in each point on the sequence to discover which numbers are missing:

Let's first count how many points, including the number 1, are on the number line.

Since there are 7 in total, we'll define the 0 point as the fraction:

$\frac{0}{7}$

We will also define 1 as the following fraction:

$\frac{7}{7}$

Now let's fill in each point on the line to discover which numbers are missing:

Let's first count how many points, including the number 1, there are on the number line.

Since there are 11 in total, we'll define the 0 point as the following fraction:

$\frac{0}{11}$

We will also define 1 as the following fraction:

$\frac{11}{11}$

Now let's fill in each point on the sequence to discover what our missing number is:

Let's first count how many points, including the number 1, there are on the number line.

Since there are 4 in total, we'll define the 0 point as the following fraction:

$\frac{0}{4}$

We can also define 1 as follows:

$\frac{4}{4}$

Finally, we can fill in each point on the number line to work out which number is represented by the question mark:
