Represent $\frac{10}{3}$ on the number line.

Given :

Given number is $\frac{10}{3}$.

To do :

We have to represent $\frac{10}{3}$ on the number line.

Solution :

$\frac{10}{3}$ can be written as,

$\frac{10}{3} = \frac{(3\times3+1)}{3} = 3 \frac{1}{3}$.

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 fraction $\frac{10}{3}$ on the number line, we need to divide the line segment between 3 and 4 into three equal parts.

In the above figure, point A represents the fraction $\frac{10}{3}$.
