find the position of a on this number line. write a fraction or mixed number for your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine unit - length

The distance between 2 and 3 is divided into 4 equal parts. So the unit - length of each small part is $\frac{1}{4}$.

Step2: Count the parts from 2

Point A is 2 full units and 3 of the $\frac{1}{4}$ parts.

Step3: Write as a mixed number

The position of A is $2\frac{3}{4}$.

Answer:

$2\frac{3}{4}$
