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

What does a mixed number look like?
It looks exactly like a whole number with a fraction standing to the right of it.
What does a non fraction look like?
A banana is a non-fraction!
Write fraction as a mixed number and each mixed number as a fraction in simplest form?
first you look at fraction and then you divide the numerator with denominator.
How do you do number line?
Look at the numbers and see if the number line is less or higher
How do you graph a line if given the equation in slope-intercept form?
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. To graph this, look at b. The number there is the y intercept. Look on the y axis on the graph and find the place where that number occurs. Plot that point, which will be (0, b). Then look at the m term. This is the slope. Imagine this number as a fraction. If it is a whole number, imagine it as the whole number divided by one. The fraction is the slope. The numerator is how far you move up or down, and the denomontator is how far you move left and right on the graph. Find the second point this way, then you can draw your line. Hope this helps!
