00:04 It seems the axis is divided into 6 segments
00:08 And each segment equals one-sixth, let's count them
00:16 Let's see which segment is highlighted
00:22 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

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:

06 \frac{0}{6}

We'll also define 1 as the following fraction:

66 \frac{6}{6}

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

Answer

26 \frac{2}{6}
