    In this section, you’ll find numbers described in various ways: as fractions, as points on a number line, as decimals, and in a picture. Your job is to match these up in a way that makes sense.

    Note: there may be more than one fraction to match a given decimal, or more than one picture to match a given point on the number line. So be ready to justify your answers.

    Fractions

    (a) \(\frac{1}{5}\) (b) \(\frac{1}{3}\) (c) \(\frac{2}{3}\)
    (d) \(\frac{9}{8}\) (e) \(\frac{15}{16}\) (f) \(\frac{25}{100}\)
    (g) \(\frac{3}{4}\) (h) \(\frac{33}{100}\) (i) \(\frac{3}{25}\)
    (j) \(\frac{1}{4}\) (k) \(\frac{6}{5}\) (\ell) \(\frac{2}{5}\)
    (m) \(\frac{4}{100}\) (n) \(\frac{2}{10}\) (o) \(\frac{1}{2}\)
