Placing Fractions on a Number Line

The video tutorial explains how to place fractions on a number line by dividing the line into equal parts. It covers the concept of fractions as values between whole numbers and demonstrates how to place specific fractions like 3/4 and 2/3 on a number line. The tutorial also shows how to identify fractions represented by points on a number line and compares different fractions to understand their relative values.

Why must the pieces in a fraction be of equal size?

• To ensure each piece represents a different portion of the whole

• To ensure each piece represents an equal portion of the whole

• To make the fraction visually appealing

• To make the fraction easier to calculate

What does the fraction 3/4 represent on a number line?

• A value between 1 and 2

• A value between 0 and 1

• A value less than 0

• A value greater than 1

How many pieces make up one whole when placing 3/4 on a number line?

• Five pieces

• Four pieces

• Three pieces

• Two pieces

What fraction is represented by point X if it is one piece out of three on a number line?

• 2/3

• 1/3

• 1/2

• 3/3

How can you determine the denominator of a fraction on a number line?

• By guessing based on the position

• By counting the total number of pieces between two whole numbers

• By looking at the numerator

• By counting the number of shaded pieces

Where is 2/3 placed in relation to 2/4 and 3/4 on a number line?

• Between 0 and 1/4

• Between 3/4 and 1

• Between 2/4 and 3/4

• Between 0 and 2/4

Why is 2/3 greater than 2/4 on a number line?
