1 or 5 means 0.20
0.20 lies between the numbers 0 and 1. Cut the space between 0 and 1 into five equal part by putting 4 lines between 0 and 1 all equal distance apart. The first line right after the 0 is 0.20
2. 1. it comes 2 in the number line
-1
- 5 is the smaller number. The truncated number line.- 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 0 1 2 3----------------------------------- 5 is in the " smaller " direction from 0.
0 is the middle number, as below it is -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 and so on, above it is 1 2 3 4 5 6, etc.
Here is the number line . ....-2, -7/4. -3/2 , -5/4, -1 , -3/4 , -1/2, -1/4, 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1 , 5/4 , 3/2, 7/4, 2 ....

- 5 is the smaller number. The truncated number line.- 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 0 1 2 3----------------------------------- 5 is in the " smaller " direction from 0.
At the number 2, draw a vertical line (perpendicular to the number line) and mark a distance of 1 unit on this line. Call this point X The distance from 0 to X is sqrt(5). Put a compass with its point at 0 and the pencil at X, and then draw an arc to cut the number line. That will be sqrt(5) on the number line.
2/5 = 4/10, which is 1/10 to the left of 1/2

The distance between 1 and .5 is (1 - .5)/2 which is .25. Add that to .5 to get the number halfway between the points: .5 + .25 = .75.So the point halfway between is .75 or 3/4.
The fraction number line (its more sophisticated name is "Rational Number Line") looks like an ordinary straight line, but each submicroscopic point on the line represents a number which can be represented as a fraction of two integers. The number "zero" stands at the center of the line, and there are an infinite number of points in the line. No matter how close together two fractions are, there are an infinite number of fractions between them. A number line is a strictly theoretical concept. It really isn't possible to draw more than an extremely limited example of a number line, since there is no limit to the number of points on a number line. Here's a very primitive fraction number line, showing only halves: -7/2 ... -3 ... -5/2 ... -2 ... -3/2 ... -1 ... -1/2 ... 0 ... 1/2 ... 1 ... 3/2 ... 2 ... 5/2 ... 3 ... 7/2 And an only slightly more intricate line showing only sevenths: -6/7 ... -5/7 ... -4/7 ... -3/7 ... -2/7 ... -1/7 ... 0 ... 1/7 ... 2/7 ... 3/7 ... 4/7 ... 5/7 ... 6/7
