That is your denominator.
That is how many pieces the interval is divided into.
Step 1: Determine the number of equal segments.
In this case, we can consider dividing the number line into 10 equal segments since we have tick marks from 0 to 1.
Step 2: Find the fraction for each tick mark.
To find fractions for each tick mark, we divide the distance of each tick mark from 0 by the total distance from 0 to 1.
Let's go through the tick marks one by one:
Tick mark 1/10: This represents the first division. The distance from 0 to the first tick mark is 1/10. So, the fraction is 1/10.
Tick mark 2/10: This represents the second division. The distance from 0 to the second tick mark is 2/10, which can be simplified to 1/5 in lowest terms.
Tick mark 3/10: The distance from 0 to the third tick mark is 3/10. This fraction is already in its lowest terms.
Tick mark 4/10: The fourth tick mark represents 4/10, which can be simplified to 2/5.
Tick mark 5/10: This marks the midpoint of the interval, which is exactly 1/2.
Tick mark 6/10: The fraction 6/10 can be simplified to 3/5.
Tick mark 7/10: The fraction 7/10 is already in lowest terms.
Tick mark 8/10: The fraction 8/10 reduces to 4/5.
Tick mark 9/10: The fraction 9/10 is already in its lowest terms.
Tick mark 10/10: This is the endpoint of the interval, which represents the whole number 1.
Therefore, the tick marks on the number line from 0 to 1, labeled as fractions in lowest terms, are:
0/10, 1/5, 3/10, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 7/10, 4/5, 9/10, 10/10 (or 1).
It's important to note that fractions should be simplified to their lowest terms, meaning that the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.
