Point x is at 2/3 on a number line. on the same number line, point y is the same distance from 0 as point x ,but has a numerator of 8. what is the denominator of the fraction at point y? draw a number line to model the problem

The denominator of the fraction y = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Point X is at of a number line. And that the distance between point X and 0 is the same as Y and 0.

Also, it is known that the numerator of Y = 8.

Let us assume , where 'a' is the denominator of the fraction Y.

Since, they are equidistant from 0, we can write:

Solving for 'a',

Therefore, the denominator of the fraction is 12.

NOTE: The fraction =

So, 2/3 was multiplied by a factor of 4. We could have arrived at 12, in this way as well,
