êë The Proper Fraction,ï3/4 , is located at "C".
éSè The positive Fractions and Zero are listed as follows:

Notice that the first row of fractions is exactly the same numbers as
the Whole Numbers.ïRow two is all of the fractions with "2" in the
denominator (bottom).ïRow three is all of the fractions with "3" in the
denominator and so on.ïThe numbers in the first column are actually
just different representations of the number Zero.ïThe three dots mean
that the pattern continues on forever.
Find the diagonal of fractions consisting of the numbers 1/1, 2/2, 3/3,
4/4, ...ïThese fractions are just different representations of "1".ïNo
tice that every fraction beneath this diagonal is a Proper Fraction (the
top is smaller than the bottom), and all of the fractions above this
diagonal are improper fractions (the top is larger than the bottom).
All of the Proper Fractions can be located on the number line between "0
" and "1".ïTo locate the Proper Fraction,ï3/4 , on the number line, it
is necessary to divide the segment from "0" to "1" into four equal parts.
The fraction, 3/4, is then located at the third division mark.

êë The Improper Fractionï5/4ïis located at "C".
éS To locate the Improper Fraction,ï5/4 , on the number line,
it is first necessary to write the Improper Fraction as a mixed number.
You can do this by dividing "4" into "5" and getting 1 with remainder 1.
This is written as "1 1/4".è 5êï1
#êêêêè─è=è1 ─
êêêêè4êï4
Then to locate "1 1/4" on the number line, you should first locate the
whole number "1" and then divide the interval from "1" to "2" into
#four equal parts.ï──┼───────────────┼───┼───┼───┼───┼─¥
#êêê0êê 1êê 2êêï═
Finally, you should locate the mixed number,ï1 1/4 or its equivalent 4,
at the first mark past the number "1".

#êêêè 2)ï7 ─è =è ──
êêêêè8êè8
éS To change the mixed number,ï7 5/8 , to Improper Fraction
form, it is first necessary to multiply "8" times "7".
êêêê8 ∙ 7è=è56
This product is added to the numerator (top number) of the fractional
part and placed over the "8".
êêêë56 + 5êï61
#êêêë──────è =è ──
êêêê 8êë8
Thus, the Improper Fraction form of the mixed number,ï7 5/8 , is 61/8.
