To graph the fraction 1/5 on a number line, follow these steps:
1. **Draw a horizontal line**: This will be your number line.
2. **Mark the endpoints**: Label the left endpoint as 0 and the right endpoint as 1.
3. **Divide the segment between 0 and 1 into 5 equal parts**: Since the denominator of your fraction is 5, you’ll need to create 5 equal divisions between 0 and 1.
4. **Label the divisions**: Starting from 0, label each division as follows:
- The first division after 0 is 1/5.
- The second division is 2/5.
- The third division is 3/5.
- The fourth division is 4/5.
- The last division is 1 (which is 5/5).
5. **Locate 1/5**: Place a point above the first division (the point representing 1/5) on the number line.
This clearly visualizes the position of 1/5 on the number line, showing that it is one-fifth of the way from 0 to 1.
