Find the Missing Value: Locating Points on a 0-to-1 Number Line

Question

What number is marked with a question mark (?) on the number line below?

00:00 Find the highlighted number

00:03 It appears the axis is divided into 6 segments

00:08 and each segment equals one sixth, let's count them

00:20 Let's see which segment is highlighted

00:25 And this is the solution to the question

Let's first count how many points, including the number 1, thre are on the number line.

Since there are 6 in total, we'll define the 0 point as the following fraction:

$\frac{0}{6}$

We will also define 1 as the following fraction:

$\frac{6}{6}$

Now let's fill in each point on the number line to discover which number is represented by the question mark:

$\frac{4}{6}$
