Question
Represent the following numbers on the number line. $2\frac{2}{5}$
✓
Answer
$2\frac{2}{5}$
Draw a line and take a point $O$ on it.
Let it represent $0.$
From $O,$ set off units $OA, AB, BC, CD$ to the right side of $O.$
Now, divide $BC$ into $5$ equal parts and take 2 equal parts.
Then $\text{BP}=\frac{2}{5}$
$\therefore\text{OP}=\text{OB}+\text{BP}$
$=2+\frac{2}{5}=2\frac{2}{5}$ as shown on the number line given below-
