∙ 11y agoYou are asked to put the fractions on a number line to help you understand fractions. It isn't so much you will use a number line " in real life" but it gives you a visual representation to help you learn. You will use fractions for many things in life. Just do what what you are asked to do by your teacher they have a reason. You are not the only student in the class and others may need a bit extra assignments to help them understand. Go with the flow. Not all things in life will relate to "real life."

It can be but need not be.
Quite simply because you NEED fractions. Fractions exist everywhere whether you chose to acknowledge them or not.
You need use fractions, addition, multiplacation, and divison for everyday use
The number will just be more precise and you might need to round.

The process is essentially the same as locating them on a number line. The only difference here is that there are effectively two numbers and two number lines. The first number tells you how far right (or left) from 0 you need to go along the horizontal number line. The second number tells you how far up (or down) you need to go along the vertical number line.

Fractions make you life easier because if you at the grociry store if it's 75% of a item you will need to know that. and fraction you need to know in a lot of jobs. Madison M.
Those are commonly used for working with fractions. You need the least common multiple to find a common denominator, for adding or subtracting fractions. And after doing some manipulations with fractions, you need the greatest common factor to simplify the fractions.Now, whether this is sufficiently "real-life" for you, is another issue. Depending on the career you choose, you many need to work with fractions on a daily basis, or you may hardly ever need them.

No, because if need be it can be expressed as a fraction whereas irrational numbers can't be expressed as fractions.
Yeah banana
When the numbers are greater than 1

The ratio of two quantities need not itself be a rational number - it can be a complex number.
