Let's solve the "Name That Fraction" worksheet step by step. The goal is to
circle the fraction that matches each point on the number line.
We’ll analyze each number line one at a time, determine how many parts the number line is divided into, and then figure out which fraction corresponds to the red dot (the point marked).

🔹 First Number Line:
- Label: 0 to 1
- Divided into
12 equal parts (since the fractions given are in twelfths)
- The red dot is located at the
6th tick mark from 0.
- So, it represents:
$$
\frac{6}{12}
$$
✔ Answer: Circle
6/12
---
🔹 Second Number Line:
- Label: 0 to 1
- Divided into
8 equal parts (fractions are in eighths)
- The red dot is at the
6th tick mark from 0.
- So, it represents:
$$
\frac{6}{8}
$$
✔ Answer: Circle
6/8

🔹 Third Number Line:
- Label: 0 to 1
- Divided into
9 equal parts (fractions are in ninths)
- The red dot is at the
7th tick mark from 0.
- So, it represents:
$$
\frac{7}{9}
$$
✔ Answer: Circle
7/9

✔ Final Answers:
1. First number line →
6/12
2. Second number line →
6/8
3. Third number line →
7/9

📝 Explanation:
Each number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into equal segments based on the denominator of the fractions provided:
- For 12 parts → each part is $ \frac{1}{12} $
- For 8 parts → each part is $ \frac{1}{8} $
- For 9 parts → each part is $ \frac{1}{9} $
The red dot shows how many of those parts have been counted from 0. Just count the ticks to find the numerator.

✔️ Summary:
-
Circle:
-
6/12 for the first line
-
6/8 for the second line
-
7/9 for the third line
