To determine which point is located at three-fourths (\( \frac{3}{4} \)) on the number line going from 0 to 2, you can break it down as follows:
1. The number line starts at 0 and ends at 2 and is divided into four equal sections between each whole number (0 to 1 and 1 to 2).
2. The total distance from 0 to 1 is divided into 4 equal parts, where each part represents \( \frac{1}{4} \).
3. Therefore, the points on the first segment can be calculated as:
- 0 (start)
- \( \frac{1}{4} \) (first increment)
- \( \frac{2}{4} \) or \( \frac{1}{2} \) (second increment)
- \( \frac{3}{4} \) (third increment)
- 1 (end of the first segment)
From the above, we see that the point \( D \) which is just before the start of 2 represents \( \frac{3}{4} \) or \( 1.75 \). In conclusion, point \( C \) represents \( \frac{3}{4} \).
Hence, the answer is point **C**.
