Represent $\frac{16}{3}$ on a number line.


Given: $\frac{16}{3}$

To do: Here we have to represent $\frac{16}{3}$ on number line.


Solution:

To represent an improper fraction, 

  • First convert the improper fraction into a mixed fraction. 
  • In the mixed numbers, the whole part represents the whole number after which the number lies.

Now,

$\frac{16}{3} \ =\ 5\frac{1}{3}$




So, $\frac{16}{3}$ will be 5 wholes and the 3rd part of the whole between 5 and 6.
