Representation of Rational Numbers on a Number Line
2
Reminders
Positive rational numbers are always represented on the right side of the zero on the number line.
Negative rational numbers are always represented on the left side of zero on the number line.
3
Proper Fractions
Proper fractions are fractions in which the numerator is less than the denominator.
Proper fractions are less than one and greater than zero.
Proper fractions always exist between zero and one on number line.

Example #1
Since the given rational number is greater than zero, it will be represented on the right side of zero on the number line.
Since it is less than one, it will exist between 0 and 1.
The denominator (bottom number) tells us how many equal parts we need to divide the number line between 0 and 1.

Example #2
Since the given rational number is greater than zero, it will be represented on the right side of zero on the number line.
Since it is less than one, it will exist between 0 and 1.
The denominator (bottom number) tells us how many equal parts we need to divide the number line between 0 and 1.

Example #3
This rational number is less than 0 but greater than -1. Therefore, it will exist between -1 and 0.
The denominator (bottom number) tells us how many equal parts we need to divide the number line between -1 and 0.
