Where is two and four fifths on a number line that is in 10 equal parts?

Answer 1

To represent two and four fifths on a number line with 10 equal parts, we first need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Two and four fifths is equivalent to 14/5. With 10 equal parts on the number line, each part represents 1/10. To find where 14/5 falls on this number line, we divide the numerator by the denominator (14 ÷ 5 = 2.8) to determine that two and four fifths falls between the 2nd and 3rd parts on the number line.

Answer 2

Ah, what a happy little question! If we have a number line divided into 10 equal parts, two and four fifths would fall between the second and third parts. Remember, each part represents one-tenth of the whole, so counting two whole parts and then four out of the ten equal parts will guide you to the right spot. Just paint those fractions on the number line with a joyful heart, and you'll find your answer!

Answer 3

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, if you have a number line divided into 10 equal parts, two and four fifths would be between the second and third parts, closer to the third part. It's like if you're waiting in line for a concert and you're almost at the front but not quite there yet.

Answer 4

It depends upon WHERE the 10 equals parts start and finish.

If both ends are greater than 2⅘ or both less than 2⅘ then 2⅘ does NOT appear anywhere on the given number line.

Otherwise it will appear at (2⅘ - start)/(end - start) along the line from start towards end.

Examples:

If the number line is numbers from 0 to 10, it will appear (2⅘ - 0)/(10 - 0) = 7/25 along the line which is at 7/25 × 10 = 2⅘ marks along the line which would be ⅘ of the way from the 2nd mark after the start (labelled 2) towards the next mark (labelled 3).

If the number line is numbers from 2 to 3, it will appear (2⅘ - 2)/(2 - 1) = ⅘ along the line which is at ⅘ × 10 = 8 marks along the line which would be at the eighth mark after the start labelled (2.8 or 2⅘).

Answer 5

The answer depends on where the ten equal parts start and finish. They could, for example, be 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1000, and in that case the location of two and four fifths is very much guess work. If the line has 10 equal parts from 0 to 10, then the number is four fifths of the way from two to three.
