000???111

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

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

Since there are 6 in total, we will define the 0 point as the fraction:

06 \frac{0}{6}

We will also define 1 as the following fraction:

66 \frac{6}{6}

Now let's fill in each point on the sequence and discover which numbers are missing:

Answer

46 \frac{4}{6}
