Represent $\frac{4}{3}$ and $\frac{-2}{9}$ on the number line.


Given:

$\frac{4}{3}$ and $\frac{-2}{9}$.

To do :

We have to represent $\frac{4}{3}$ and$ \frac{-2}{9}$ on the number line.

Solution :

$\frac{4}{3}$ 

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 $\frac{4}{3}=1\frac{1}{3}$ on the number line, we need to divide the line segment between 1 and 2 into three equal parts.


Point A is the required point.

$\frac{-2}{9}$

Draw a number line.

As the number $\frac{-2}{9}$ is a negative number so it will be on the left of zero. It lies between $0$ and $-1$.

Divide the line segment between $0$ and $-1$ into 9 parts(9 is the denominator here).


is the required point.
