What fraction would this dot be closest to?
Earned ?
🎙️
This dot is on the number line, but not on a whole number. Let's find a mixed fraction that best describes where it is.
🎙️
We can see that each whole number has been split up into 6 parts. We are past the first whole number, one, but before two, so we have one whole
🎙️
Our dot is on the fifth of the 6 smaller parts. That is all a fraction is, how many parts, out of how many parts in a whole
🎙️
So our dot is at five sixths of the way between one and two.
🎙️
So our dot is at one whole and five sixths of another whole. So, one and five sixths.
