What number is marked on the number axis?

Step-by-step solution

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:

66 \frac{6}{6}

Since

66=11=1 \frac{6}{6}=\frac{1}{1}=1

The number marked on the number line is 1

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Division Rule: Count total equal parts between 0 and 1
  • Technique: With 6 divisions, the marked point equals 66=1 \frac{6}{6} = 1
  • Check: Verify the red circle is at position 1, not between points ✓

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Counting divisions instead of the endpoint position
    Don't assume the marked point is 16 \frac{1}{6} , 26 \frac{2}{6} , or 36 \frac{3}{6} just because you see 6 divisions! The red circle is positioned exactly at 1, not between tick marks. Always identify whether the mark is at a division point or at the endpoint.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

How do I know if the marked point is a fraction or a whole number?

+

Look carefully at the position of the marked point! If it's exactly on a labeled number (like 0 or 1), it's that whole number. If it's between tick marks, then count the divisions to find the fraction.

Why isn't the answer 1/6 if I see 6 equal parts?

+

The number of divisions doesn't automatically give you the answer! You need to see where exactly the red circle is placed. In this case, it's right at the endpoint labeled '1', not at the first division mark.

How do I count the divisions correctly?

+

Count the equal spaces between 0 and 1. Each space represents one part of the whole. But remember: if the marked point is at a boundary (like at 0 or 1), it's that whole number value!

What if the marked point was between two tick marks?

+

Then you'd count which division it's in! For example, if it were at the 3rd tick mark from 0, it would be 36=12 \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} . But here, the red circle is exactly at position 1.

Should I simplify fractions like 6/6?

+

Yes, always simplify! 66=1 \frac{6}{6} = 1 because any number divided by itself equals 1. This confirms our answer matches the labeled endpoint.
