Question

graph $\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ on the number line.

compare $\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$.

$\frac{2}{4} < \frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{2}{4} > \frac{1}{4}$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify number line segments

The line from 0 to 1 is split into 4 equal parts, each representing $\frac{1}{4}$.

Step2: Graph $\frac{1}{4}$ on the line

Mark the first segment after 0 as $\frac{1}{4}$.

Step3: Graph $\frac{2}{4}$ on the line

Mark the second segment after 0 as $\frac{2}{4}$.

Step4: Compare the two fractions

For fractions with equal denominators, the larger numerator means a larger value. Since $2>1$, $\frac{2}{4}>\frac{1}{4}$.

Answer:

1. Number line graph:

• Mark $\frac{1}{4}$ at the first tick between 0 and 1
• Mark $\frac{2}{4}$ at the second tick between 0 and 1

1. $\frac{2}{4} > \frac{1}{4}$
