Placing Fractions with Numerators Other Than One on a Number Line

The video tutorial explains how to place fractions with numerators other than 1 on a number line by dividing the space between whole numbers into equal parts. It uses examples like 2/5 and 2/3 to demonstrate the process, emphasizing the role of numerators and denominators in determining the fraction's position. The tutorial also covers basic concepts of fractions and number lines, using visual aids like pie charts and base 10 blocks to enhance understanding.
