A number line from 0 to 1 is divided into 8 equal intervals. A point is 3 interval(s) to the right of 0. Which fraction labels it?

See the answer & why

Each interval is 1/8. Moving 3 intervals from 0 reaches 3/8.

A little hint: Count equal intervals, not the number of tick marks.

Mark 0 and 1, and divide that unit length into equal intervals.
