A number line going from 0 to 1. There are 5 equal spaces between 0 and 1.

What is the distance between each tick mark on this number line?
One-sixth
One-fifth
5
6

1 answer

If there are 5 equal spaces between 0 and 1 on a number line, you can find the distance between each tick mark by dividing the total distance (which is 1) by the number of spaces (which is 5).

So, the distance between each tick mark is:

\[ \text{Distance} = \frac{1}{5} \]

Thus, the answer is One-fifth.
