Answer 2

I would create the number line by starting with 1,2,3, and then break it down into thirds. Then it is simple to find the mixed number on the number line. For example, for 1 1/3 you would go to one and then count one more third. Hope that helps!

Draw the number line 3 marks to 1 whole....

0, tick mark, tick mark, 1, tick mark, tick mark, 2, tick mark, tick mark, 3, tick mark, tick mark, 4,etc

2 and 1/3 is at the 7th tick mark

1 and 1/3 is 4 tick marks, so go 4 tick marks to right from there.....

you get 3 and 2/3
