1/12 is here


  ----|--|----------------------|----

      0  1/12                   1

Now you make 2/56 in the same way.


Another way to get 1/12 on a number line is THIS:

        take an inch ruler/(straightedge) and note first inch mark in the first foot interval.

        1 inch = 1/12 of a foot.
