Represent the following number on the number line:

$\dfrac{5}{6}$

Draw a number line and mark a point O on it, representing the integer 0. Each point of division represents an integer and each length between two successive integers is a unit length.

As $\dfrac{5}{6}$ is a positive proper fraction, it lies between 0 and 1.

Divide the unit length between 0 and 1 into 6 equal segments by making 5 equally spaced marks. Starting from 0, count forward 5 segments to the right. Label this specific position as point A, representing $\dfrac{5}{6}$ on the number line, as shown below :

Hence, the point A on the number line represents $\mathbf{\dfrac{5}{6}}$.
