How do you locate a fraction and decimals on a number line?
On a number line used to illustrate values in the study of math, integers or whole numbers are spaced evenly, and fractions are in between the whole numbers. Positive nubmers are to the right of zero and negative to the left. On the positive side, a fraction is placed to the right of the next smaller and to the left of the next larger whole number. It doesn't matter whether you are representing fractions as common fractions (as 5/8 for five eighths) or decimals (as .625). Either way, this number would be to the right of zero and do the left of one. 17.4 would be between 17 and 18.
