Let’s solve each number line step by step.

Problem 1:
We have a number line from 0 to 1, divided into 10 equal parts (since we see denominators of 10).
The marks are at:
- 0
- ? → this is the first tick after 0 → should be
1/10
- 2/10
- 3/10
- ? → next after 3/10 →
4/10
- 5/10
- ? → next after 5/10 →
6/10
- ? → next after 6/10 →
7/10
- 8/10
- 9/10
- 1
So missing fractions in order:
→ First blank:
1/10
→ Second blank:
4/10
→ Third blank:
6/10
→ Fourth blank:
7/10
*(Note: We can simplify these later if needed, but since the given ones like 2/10, 3/10 etc. are not simplified, we’ll keep them as tenths.)*

Problem 2:
Number line from 0 to 1, with some fractions labeled: 1/4, 2/4, and then blanks.
Since 2/4 = 1/2, and we’re going to 1, it looks like the line is divided into 4 equal parts.
So the full sequence should be:
- 0 → but wait, the first box is before 1/4? Let’s check positions.
Actually, looking at the spacing:
It shows:
[blank] — 1/4 — 2/4 — [blank] — 1
If 1/4 and 2/4 are marked, and assuming equal spacing, then:
From 0 to 1, divided into 4 parts → each part is 1/4.
So:
- Start at 0 → but the first box is *before* 1/4? That doesn’t make sense unless the first box IS 0.
Wait — let’s re-read the diagram description.
In problem 2, it says:
“□ — 1/4 — 2/4 — □ — 1”
That suggests 5 points total: start, 1/4, 2/4, ?, 1.
If evenly spaced, then the distance between each mark is 1/4.
So:
- Point 1: 0 → so first box =
0
- Point 2: 1/4
- Point 3: 2/4
- Point 4: 3/4 → second box =
3/4
- Point 5: 1
Yes! So missing fractions:
→ First blank:
0
→ Second blank:
3/4
But wait — the first box is drawn *
