Draw number lines and locate the points on them :
(a) 1/2, 1/4, 3/4, 4/4
(b) 1/8, 2/8, 3/8 7/8
(c) 2/5, 3/5, 8/5, 4/5

Solution:

We can use the concepts of fractions and number lines to draw the number lines and locate the given points on them.

(a)

First, we need to draw a number line from 0 to 1 and divide it into four equal parts.
On the above number line, we will mark the points 1/4, 2/4 = 1/2 and 3/4 in between 0 and 1. 

(b)

First, we need to draw a number line from 0 to 1 and divide it into eight equal parts.
On the above number line, we will mark the points 1/8, 2/8 3/8, and 7/8 on the first, second and seventh marking respectively

(c)

First, we need to draw a number line from 0 to 1 to 2 and divide it into five equal parts between 0 and 1, and 1 and 2 as shown above.
On the above number line, we will mark the points 2/5, 3/5, and 4/5 between 0 and 1 on the second, third and fourth marking. 
Since 8/5 is greater than, it will be marked on the third marking after 1 as (8 - 5) = 3
