Subtracting Fractions With Equal Denominators On The Number Line

This video tutorial teaches how to subtract fractions with equal denominators using a number line. It begins with an introduction to representing fractions on a number line, followed by a demonstration of plotting 5/6 and 3/6. The tutorial then explains how to subtract these fractions by aligning the distances on the number line, resulting in the answer 2/6. The lesson concludes with a summary of the subtraction process.

What is the first step in representing the fraction 5/6 on a number line?

• Draw a point at 0

• Start counting from 1

• Divide the space into 6 equal parts

• Divide the space into 5 equal parts

How do you represent the fraction 3/6 on a number line?

• Start from 1 and count three parts

• Divide the space into 6 equal parts and count three parts

• Divide the space into 3 equal parts

• Count six parts from 0

What is the purpose of aligning the distance of 3/6 on the number line with 5/6?

• To add the fractions
