Draw a number line as shown below:

In this number line
OA = AB = ……………= OA' = A'B' = 1 unit
Since the denominator of each given rational number is 3, divide each OA, AB, BC, OA', A'B', etc into three equal parts.
To represent , move one step towards the right side of 0 to reach P as shown.
As, OA = 1 unit, therefore OP = unit.
Hence, to represent , move 2 steps towards the right side of 0 to reach point Q. So, Q represents .
In the same way to represent , move 2 steps towards the left side of 0 to reach point R. So, R represents .
Similarly, S represents , T represents and B' represents -2.
