Answer 2

The number line is divided into 6 equal parts, so the distance between 0 and 1 is divided into 6 equal parts. Therefore, each part represents 1/6 of the distance from 0 to 1.

The arrow is on the second part to the right of 0, which means it represents 2/6 or 1/3 of the distance from 0 to 1.

Answer: C. 2/6 or simplified to 1/3
