Select which option is most appropriate for describing the number line below.

A number line is divided into sixths. A dashed arrow is shown starting at one-sixth and ending at, as well as pointing to, three-sixths. Another dashed line with arrowhead is shown starting at three-sixths and ending at, as well as pointing to, five-sixths.

2/6+2/6+2/6=6/6

2 6 + 2 6 + 2 6 = 6 6

1/6+3/6+5/6=9/6

1 6 + 3 6 + 5 6 = 9 6

1/6+1/6+1/6=3/6

1 6 + 1 6 + 1 6 = 3 6

1/6+2/6+2/6=5/6

The most appropriate option for describing the number line you provided is:

1/6 + 2/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

This option reflects the movement from one-sixth (1/6) to three-sixths (3/6) (which is an increase of 2/6), and from three-sixths (3/6) to five-sixths (5/6) (which is an increase of 2/6). Thus, the calculation of moving from 1/6 to 5/6 is consistent with the progression shown on the number line.
