# About This Calculator

A Number Line is a fundamental visual model for representing real numbers. Placing fractions on a number line helps students understand their magnitude and relative value.

This tool provides a high-contrast, interactive line where you can "see" the distance from zero. It handles both typical fractions (0-1) and highlights if a fraction exceeds 1 (improper fractions).

How To Use

  1. Enter the **Numerator** and **Denominator**.
  2. Observe the **Marker** move along the visual scale.
  3. The scale represents 0 to 1. Fractions larger than 1 will pin to the right edge.
  4. Use the decimal readout to confirm the exact placement.
