What fractions are marked by points \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), and \(D\) on the number line? Write each value as a fraction in simplest form or as a mixed number.
Hints
- Count the equal intervals from \(0\) to \(1\) to find the size of one step.
- Count ticks from \(0\) to each point.
- Simplify fractions and write values greater than \(1\) as mixed numbers if helpful.
Solution
1. The interval from \(0\) to \(1\) is divided into \(8\) equal parts, so each tick represents \(\frac{1}{8}\).
2. Point \(A\) is at the third tick: \(A=\frac{3}{8}\).
3. Point \(B\) is at the sixth tick: \(B=\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}\).
4. Point \(C\) is one eighth past \(1\): \(C=1\frac{1}{8}\).
5. Point \(D\) is six eighths past \(1\): \(D=1\frac{6}{8}=1\frac{3}{4}\).
Answer
A) \(\frac{3}{8}\)
B) \(\frac{3}{4}\)
C) \(1\frac{1}{8}\)
D) \(1\frac{3}{4}\)
