Answer 1

To determine which number sentence is true based on the description of the number line, we can analyze the fractions:

- The fraction one-sixth (1/6) is less than one-third (1/3).
- The fraction two-sixths (2/6) is equal to one-third (1/3).
- The fraction three-sixths (3/6) is equal to one-half.
- The fraction four-sixths (4/6) is equal to two-thirds (2/3).
- The fraction five-sixths (5/6) is greater than two-thirds (2/3).

Now, let's evaluate the given options based on this information:

1. **1/6 = 1/3** (False)
2. **2/3 = 4/6** (True)
3. **2/6 = 2/3** (False)
4. **1/3 = 4/6** (False)

The only true statement based on the number line is:

**2/3 = 4/6**

So, the correct response is:

**2/3 = 4/6** (Option: 23=46)
