Graph fractions and mixed numbers on a number line

Fractions and mixed numbers can also be graphed on a number line.

You can locate the position of each fraction and mixed number on the number line and draw a bold dot.

• Since \(-2\frac23 < -2\), the graph of \(-2\frac34\) is to the left of -2 on the number line.
• The number \(-1\frac12\) is between -1 and -2.
• The number \(-\frac18\) is less than 0.
• Expressed as a mixed number, \(\frac{13}{5} = 2\frac35\)
