Number Line Questions

The number line shows the interval from 0 to 1 divided into 5 equal parts. This means each interval represents $\frac{1}{5}$.

• Phendula imibuzo elandelako: (Answer the following questions:)

  • a) Ingabe amamaraga we-inthevali phakathi ko-0 na-1 asikhombisa ini? (What do the interval markings between 0 and 1 show us?) The markings show that the unit from 0 to 1 is divided into 5 equal parts. Each mark represents $\boxed{\frac{1}{5}}$.

  • b) Ingabe uyisebenze njani? (How did you use it?) It is used to visually represent fractions and to understand their order and value relative to whole numbers.

  • c) Lizakuba yini i-inthevali phakathi koku-1 nemaraga elilandelako ngemva koku-1? (What will be the interval between 1 and the next mark after 1?) Since the number line is divided into fifths, the next mark after 1 (which is $\frac{5}{5}$) would be $\frac{6}{5}$. The interval between 1 and $\frac{6}{5}$ is $\boxed{\frac{1}{5}}$.
