Question

graph \\(\frac{3}{5}\\) on the number line.
-1 0 1
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the number line

The number line is from -1 to 1, with 0 in the middle. The segment from 0 to 1 is divided into equal parts. Let's find how many parts there are. From 0 to 1, let's count the ticks. Between 0 and 1, there are 5 intervals (since from 0, the first tick, second, third, fourth, then 1). So each interval represents $\frac{1}{5}$.

Step2: Locate $\frac{3}{5}$

Since each interval is $\frac{1}{5}$, to find $\frac{3}{5}$, we move 3 intervals to the right of 0. So starting at 0, the first tick is $\frac{1}{5}$, second $\frac{2}{5}$, third $\frac{3}{5}$. So the third tick to the right of 0 is where $\frac{3}{5}$ should be graphed.

Answer:

The point representing $\frac{3}{5}$ is the third tick mark to the right of 0 on the number line.
