Which shows 1/5 graphed on the number line?

1 answer

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.
