Identify missing fractions on a number line—Let's Practise! exercise

• Razzi's missing fraction.

  Hints

  Find the interval by identifying the pattern between the given fractions.

  Count on using the pattern starting with the first fraction.

  Solution

  The missing fraction on the number line is $\frac{3}{6}$.

• More missing fractions.

  Hints

  How many parts of one whole are on the number line? That is your denominator.

  $\frac{1}{9}$ belongs after 0. $\frac{2}{9}$ is next. Use this pattern to determine the missing fraction.

  Solution

  $\frac{4}{9}$ is the missing fraction.

• Can you complete the number line?

  Hints

  How many parts of one whole are on the number line? That is your denominator.

  Continue counting along the number line to find the missing fractions.

  Solution

  The image shows the correct fractions on the number line.

• Find the missing fractions.

  Hints

  Use the pattern to find the missing fractions.

  Count back from $\frac{9}{14}$ to find the missing fractions.

  Solution

  The missing fractions are $\frac{1}{14}$ and $\frac{5}{14}$.

• What is the missing fraction?

  Hints

  Look at the denominator of the fractions given. The missing fraction will have the same denominator.

  Which fraction comes after $\frac{2}{4}$?

  Which fraction comes before $\frac{4}{4}$?

  Solution

  The missing fraction is $\frac{3}{4}$.

• Measure flour to help Razzi bake biscuits.

  Hints

  What is the denominator?

  Begin at $\frac{1}{5}$ on the number line. Add $\frac{3}{5}$ more.

  Count on three jumps forwards from $\frac{1}{5}$.

  Solution

  • Begin at $\frac{1}{5}$ and jump three spaces forwards to add $\frac{3}{5}$.
  • You land at $\frac{4}{5}$ .
  • Razzi needs $\mathbf{\frac{4}{5}}$ cup of flour.
