Was his calculation correct?
Yes, he divided the number line correctly.
Given that the number of intervals on the number line is x.
When divided into 8 parts, we have:
[tex]Location = \frac{x}{8}[/tex]
[tex]Location = \frac{1}{8}x[/tex]
This means that each point on the number line will be located at 1/8 interval between one another.
