Draw a number line and locate the following points:$\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{4}{4}$


Given :

The given points are $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{4}{4}$.

To do :

We have to locate the given points on the number line.

Solution :

In order to represent a fraction on the number line, we need to divide the line segment between two whole numbers into 'n' equal parts where n represents the denominator of the fraction.

Therefore,

If we have to represent the fractions $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}(=\frac{2}{4}), \frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{4}{4}(=1)$ on the number line, we need to divide the line segment between 0 and 1 into four equal parts.

In the above figure,

Point A represents $\frac{1}{4}$, point B represents $\frac{1}{2}$, point C represents $\frac{3}{4}$ and point D represents $\frac{4}{4}$.
