Understanding Fractions on a Number Line

The video tutorial explains how to plot fractions on a number line using the unit length from zero to one. It covers plotting one-half by dividing the unit into two equal parts, two-thirds by dividing into three equal parts, and five-fourths by extending beyond one and dividing into four equal parts. The tutorial emphasizes understanding fractions as parts of a whole and introduces the concept of mixed numbers.

What is the unit length used to plot fractions on the number line?

• The length from zero to two

• The length from zero to one

• The length from zero to three

• The length from one to two

How do you determine the position of one-half on the number line?

• By dividing the unit length into three equal parts

• By dividing the unit length into two equal parts

• By dividing the unit length into five equal parts

• By dividing the unit length into four equal parts

What is the position of two-thirds on the number line?

• One-third of the way from zero to one

• Two-thirds of the way from zero to one

• Halfway between zero and one

• At the same point as one

How many equal parts is the unit length divided into for the fraction two-thirds?

• Two equal parts

• Three equal parts

• Four equal parts

• Five equal parts

What is the equivalent mixed number for the fraction five-fourths?

• One and one-half

• One and one-fourth

• Two and one-fourth

• Two and one-half

How is the number line extended to plot five-fourths?

• By dividing the length from zero to one into four parts

• By dividing the length from zero to two into four parts

• By dividing the length from one to two into four parts

• By dividing the length from zero to one into five parts

What is the position of five-fourths on the number line?

• At the same point as one

• One-fourth past zero

• One-fourth past one

• At the same point as two

How many equal parts is the length from zero to one divided into for the fraction five-fourths?

• Four equal parts

• Five equal parts

• Three equal parts

• Two equal parts
