which point is located at 7/12 on the number line below?
What number line below?
We can't see your number line.
Perhaps you can see it on this number line. Find the line with 1/12. Count seven places from the left.

To find the point located at 7/12 on the number line, you need to divide the number line into 12 equal parts and identify the 7th part.
Here's how you can do it:
1. Draw a straight line representing the number line.
2. Mark a point at the beginning of the line as 0.
3. Divide the line into 12 equal parts by marking smaller points between 0 and 1.
4. Label these points as 1/12, 2/12, 3/12, and so on, until 12/12 (which is the same as 1).
5. Count 7 parts from 0 towards the right side.
6. The point where you reach after counting 7 parts is the point located at 7/12 on the number line.
Alternatively, you can calculate the exact position of the point using the proportion:
7/12 = x/1
To solve for x, cross multiply:
12x = 7
Then, divide both sides by 12:
x = 7/12
So, the point located at 7/12 on the number line is either determined by visually counting or by solving the proportion x = 7/12.
