Question

Jean climbed 2/3 of the distance to the top of the cliff as shown on the number line. Terry climbed 1/3 of the distance less than Jean. Steve climed 1/5 of the distance more than Jean. Drag the correct points to the correct locations on the number line.

Answer 1

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Jean = \frac{2}{3}$

$Terry = \frac{1}{3}$

$Steve = \frac{1}{5}$

Required

Represent them on number line

Start by getting the LCM of the denominators of the three fractions;

The denominator are: 3 and 5

$LCM = 15$

This means that, the number line will be divided into 15 partitions;

Next, we get the position of each fraction as follows;

$Jean = \frac{2}{3} * 15$

$Jean = \frac{30}{3}$

$Jean = 10$

Jean will be represented on the 10th point

$Terry = \frac{1}{3} * 15$

$Terry = \frac{15}{3}$

$Terry = 5$

Terry will be represented on the 5th point

$Steve = \frac{1}{5} * 15$

$Steve = \frac{15}{5}$

$Steve = 3$

Steve will be represented on the 3rd point

Answer 2

Answer:

Jean climbed  of the distance up the cliff. This is marked on the number line.

Terry climbed  of the distance less than Jean. Use addition to find the height to where Terry climbed.

So, Terry climbed  of the total distance.

Steve climbed  of the total distance more than Jean. Use addition to find the point to where Steve climbed.

So, Steve climbed  of the total distance.
