You 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."

How do you find the average of fractions?

To find the average of fractions, you first need to find a common denominator for all the fractions. Once you have the fractions with the same denominator, add them together to find the total.
