You're almost there. Write the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Since the mixed number is 3 4/5, we know that the point will be somewhere in between 3 and 4 on the number line. To figure out how many ticks/lines to draw in between each number, look at the fraction attached to the mixed number. Remember, a fraction is a part of a whole. We want to know the total number of parts that are in the whole- so we are looking at the denominator, 5. So there are 5 ticks/lines. The numerator represents the number of parts we need to count: 4. This places the point 4 ticks/lines after the "3." The number line should look like this:
