Fractions on a number line

The question

on a number line

How it works.

gaps:3marks:4
each gap:
each gap:
gaps counted:2
  1. 01

    Count the gaps between the marks, not the marks — a line cut into 3 has 4 marks.

  2. 02

    3 gaps between 0 and 1, so each one is a third — that is the bottom number.

  3. 03

    Then count gaps from 0 to the mark: 2. So it is 2/3.
