On the number line the distance from 0 to 1 is arbitrary (you get to choose).
How the space between 0 and 1 is divided is your choice also (4ths, 16ths, 3rds, 17ths)
Draw a line three inches long. Make the left end 0 and the right end 1.
Place makes are 1 inch and 2 inches.
A solid dot at 2 is the fraction 2/3 on your number line.
