in comparison to 1/3. where would 3/9 be on a number line

Question

A. closer to 0
B. the same point
C. closer to 1
D. at 0

Answer 1

To compare \( \frac{3}{9} \) and \( \frac{1}{3} \), we first simplify \( \frac{3}{9} \):

\[ \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3} \]

Since \( \frac{3}{9} \) simplifies to \( \frac{1}{3} \), both fractions represent the same point on a number line.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

B. the same point
