First let's calculate each fraction in their decimal form:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{8}=0.25 \\ \frac{4}{8}=0.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Both fractions are between 0 and 1. Placing them in the number line, we have:
We have 8 divisions between 0 and 1, so the fraction 2/8 will be in position 2 after the zero and the fraction 4/8 will be in position 4 (in the middle of the line).
