Section B: Practice Problems Fractions on the Number Line
Section Summary
Details
In this section, we located and labeled fractions on the number line. We learned how to partition the number line from 0 to 1 to locate unit fractions.
Then we used the location of unit fractions to locate other fractions.
We also learned that some fractions are at the same location as whole numbers on the number line. Here, we can see that
At the end of the section, we used our understanding of unit fractions to locate 1 on the number line when we only knew the location of a fraction.
