To locate \( \frac{7}{4} \) on the number line, you can first convert it to a mixed number or decimal form.
1. **Convert to a mixed number**:
\(\frac{7}{4} = 1 \frac{3}{4}\), which means it is equal to 1 and three-quarters.
2. **Convert to decimal**:
\(\frac{7}{4} = 1.75\).
Now, on the number line:
- \(0\) is at the starting point.
- \(1\) is the first whole number.
- \(2\) is the next whole number after \(1\).
Since \(1.75\) is between \(1\) and \(2\), you would place \( \frac{7}{4} \) (or \(1.75\)) three-quarters of the way between \(1\) and \(2\). So it is to the right of \(1\) and to the left of \(2\), closer to \(2\).
