Find the Missing Value: Locating Points on a 0-to-1 Number Line

Count all the points from 0 to 1, including both endpoints. If there are 7 points total, the number line is divided into $\frac{1}{6}$, $\frac{2}{6}$, $\frac{3}{6}$, etc.

Points are the dots or marks on the line. Spaces are the gaps between points. Always count points to find the denominator, then see which point number the question mark is at.

Both are correct! $\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$ when simplified. The question shows $\frac{4}{6}$ because there are 6 equal parts and the question mark is at the 4th position.

Look at the position visually! The question mark should be more than halfway from 0 to 1. Since $\frac{4}{6}$ is greater than $\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$, this makes sense ✓

The same method works! Count all points in the section you're examining. If you see points at 0, 1, and beyond, each section still follows the same equal division pattern.
