I have three fractions 7/2 3/2 5/2 on the number line I have the numbers 0 1 2 3 4 where do I put the fractions
To place the fractions 7/2, 3/2, and 5/2 on the number line with the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, you can follow these steps:
1. Draw a straight line to represent the number line.
2. Mark the points 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 evenly spaced along the line.
3. To place the fraction 7/2, divide the distance between 3 and 4 into 2 equal parts. Then, count 7 of those equal parts from 3, and label that point as 7/2. So, 7/2 would be positioned closer to 4 than 3 on the number line.
4. To position the fraction 3/2, divide the distance between 2 and 3 into 2 equal parts. Count 3 of those equal parts from 2, and label that point as 3/2. So, 3/2 would be positioned closer to 2 than 3 on the number line.
5. To position the fraction 5/2, divide the distance between 2 and 3 into 2 equal parts. Count 5 of those equal parts from 2, and label that point as 5/2. 5/2 would be positioned closer to 3 than 2 on the number line.
The final representation on the number line would be:
0 --- 1 --- 2 --- 3/2 --- 5/2 --- 3 --- 7/2 --- 4
