Answer:
The first fraction at the right of 1 is [tex]\frac{7}{6}[/tex] or [tex]1\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Marks of 6ths on a number line
Fraction 5/6 just before 1
Required
What fraction is at the right 1
To get the first fraction at the right of 1, we need to get the difference between each fraction;
This is calculated as follows;
[tex]Difference = 1 - \frac{5}{6}[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]Difference = \frac{6 - 5}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Difference = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]
This implies that the difference between each mark is [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex].
To get the first mark at the right of 1;
We simply add the difference to 1;
This implies that;
[tex]Mark = 1 + \frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]Mark = \frac{6 + 1}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Mark = \frac{7}{6}[/tex]
Convert to mixed fraction
[tex]Mark = 1\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Hence, the first fraction at the right of 1 is [tex]\frac{7}{6}[/tex] or [tex]1\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
