Question
Represent the following numbers on the number line.

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-
