Fractions represent the parts of a whole or collection. A fraction has two parts: numerator and denominator. The numerator represents the number of equal parts taken and is written at the top. Denominator represents the total number of equal parts in a whole and is written at the bottom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example: In the fraction $\\frac{3}{4}, 3$ is the numerator and 4 is the denominator. Also, it represents that 3 parts are taken out of 4 equal parts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-games-container-id\" class=\"recommended-games-container\"><h4

It is a horizontal number line that displays two whole numbers at either end of the line. We can identify and plot all the fractions lying between these two whole numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Consider a number line. Let&#8217;s divide the sections between the whole numbers 0 and 1, 1 and 2 and so on into 2 equal parts.

To represent a proper fraction on a number line, we divide the segment joining 0 and 1 into the number of equal parts equal to the denominator of the fraction. The marking equal to the numerator represents the given fraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Suppose we have to mark<strong> <\/strong>$\\frac{5}{6}$ on the number line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Draw a horizontal fraction number line of a suitable length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Since $\\frac{5}{6}$ is a proper fraction, it lies between 0 and 1. Mark 0 and 1 on the number line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Divide the line segment between 0 and 1 into 6 equal parts since the denominator of the fraction is 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 4: <\/strong>Count 5 parts from the left since the numerator of $\\frac{5}{6}$ is 5. Name the marking as $\\frac{5}{6}$.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"548\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/proper-fractions-on-fraction-number-line.png\" alt=\"Proper fractions on fraction number line\" class=\"wp-image-41301\" title=\"Proper fractions on fraction number line\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/proper-fractions-on-fraction-number-line.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/proper-fractions-on-fraction-number-line-300x265.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Consider another example. $\\frac{2}{3}$ is a proper fraction. Thus, it lies between 0 and 1. To represent $\\frac{2}{3}$ on a number line, we first divide the segment joining 0 and 1 into 3 equal parts. The second marking represents the fraction $\\frac{2}{3}$.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"5-equivalent-fractions-on-a-number-line\">Equivalent Fractions on a Number Line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Equivalent fractions are fractions that have different numerators and denominators, but they still represent the same value. Thus, equivalent fractions take the same place on the number line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example: Let us mark $\\frac{1}{2}$ and $\\frac{2}{4}$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">To represent $\\frac{1}{2}$, we divide 0 and 1 into 2 parts and choose the second marking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">To represent $\\frac{2}{4}$, we divide 0 and 1 in 4 parts and choose the second marking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"313\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/equivalent-fractions-on-number-line.png\" alt=\"Equivalent fractions on number line\" class=\"wp-image-41302\" title=\"Equivalent fractions on number line\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/equivalent-fractions-on-number-line.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/equivalent-fractions-on-number-line-300x151.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"6-mixed-fractions-on-a-number-line\">Mixed Fractions on a Number Line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A mixed number is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/number-sense\/whole-numbers\">whole number<\/a> and a proper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/fractions\/fraction\">fraction<\/a> represented together, such as $1\\frac{2}{3},2\\frac{2}{5},12\\frac{1}{8}$, etc. It generally represents a number between any two whole numbers. Note that the mixed numbers or the mixed fractions are always greater than 1 since its numerator is greater than the denominator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Let\u2019s understand how to represent a mixed fraction on a number line. Suppose, we have to mark $3\\frac{3}{4}$ on the number line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> First, find the whole number part of the mixed number. In this example, the whole number part is 3. So, the mixed fraction lies between 3 and 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> The fractional part is $\\frac{3}{4}$. Thus, divide the above line segment into four equal parts. Each part represents $\\frac{1}{4}$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Go to the fractional part.

To represent an improper fraction on a number line, we can always convert it to a mixed fraction, but, here we will discuss another method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Suppose, we have to plot $\\frac{5}{2}$ on the number line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> First, look at the denominator.
