Q4 Draw the number line and represent the following rational numbers on it:
(i) 3/4
(ii) -5/8
(iii) -7/4
(iv) 7/8
3
Answer. (i) 4
This fraction represents 3 parts out of 4 equal parts. Therefore, each space between two
integers on number line must be divided into 4 equal parts 34 can be represented as.
−5
(ii) 8
This fraction represents 5 parts out of 8 equal parts. Negative sign represents that it is on
the negative side of number line. Therefore, each space between two integers on number
−7
(iii) 4
= −1 34
This fraction represents 1 full part and 3 parts out of 4 equal parts. Negative sign
represents that it is on the negative side of number line. Therefore, each space between
two integers on number line must be divided into 4 equal parts.
−7
4
can be represented as
7
(iv) 8
This fraction represents 7 parts out of 8 equal parts. Therefore, each space between two
integers on number line must be divided into 8 equal parts.

Q5 The points P, Q, R, S, T, U, A and B on the number line are such that, TR = RS = SU and
AP = PQ = QB. Name the rational numbers represented by P, Q, R and S.
Similarly,
