Question

graph \\(\frac{2}{5}\\) on the number line.
-1 0 1

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the number line

The number line has intervals from -1 to 0 and 0 to 1, each divided into 5 equal parts (since we need to graph a fraction with denominator 5). The length of each small segment is $\frac{1}{5}$.

Step2: Locate $\frac{2}{5}$

Since $\frac{2}{5}$ is positive, we look at the interval from 0 to 1. Each small segment is $\frac{1}{5}$, so we count 2 segments to the right of 0. The second mark to the right of 0 (after 0) represents $\frac{2}{5}$ (because the first mark is $\frac{1}{5}$, the second is $\frac{2}{5}$).

Answer:

The point representing $\frac{2}{5}$ is the second tick mark to the right of 0 on the number line (between 0 and 1, with each tick mark spaced $\frac{1}{5}$ apart).
