Answer to Question #348057 in Algebra for Lesedi

Question

Describe what you will do to help a learner who cannot position 3over4 correctly on a number line.

Answer 1

Solution:

3 over 4 means 3/4=0.75 which less than 1. It means 3/4 on the number line between 0 and 1. So, we need to divide 0-1 part of the number line into 4 parts, equal 0.25. And write 1st, 2nd and 3rd 0.25 counting from 0 to 1.

0......0.25......0.5......0.75......1.....

Now, find 3rd 0.25 which is equal to 0.75.

Also, we could divide 0-1 part of the number line exactly into two part,s it is 0.5. Then divide 0.5-1 part of the number line exactly into two parts, you will find 0.75 on the number line.
