Question

what is the position of \\(c\\) on the number line below?

write your answer as a fraction or mixed number.

Explanation:

Determine the interval division

$$ \text{Number of subdivisions between } 0 \text{ and } 1 = 6 $$

$$ \text{Value of each tick mark} = \frac{1}{6} $$

Locate point C

$$ \text{Point } C \text{ is located past } 2 $$

$$ \text{Number of ticks past } 2 = 1 $$

$$ \text{Position of } C = 2 + \frac{1}{6} = 2\frac{1}{6} = \frac{13}{6} $$
