Question

Use the number line below to help you determine which of the following expressions is true.

The number line goes from 5.0 to 6.0 with 9 labeled marks in between. Each mark increases by point one. There are five labeled points. A point labeled 5.04 is between 5.0 and 5.1. A point labeled 5.26 is between 5.2 and 5.3. A point labeled 5.4 is at the mark labeled 5.4. A point labeled 5.520 is between 5.5 and 5.6. A point labeled 5.71 is between 5.7 and 5.8. a. 5.04>5.4 b. 5.4=5.04 c.5.520>5.71 d.5.26<5.17

Answer 1

None of them. Explanation:

a. 5.04 < 5.4 (0.04 < 0.40), so 5.04 > 5.4 is false.
b. 5.4 ≠ 5.04, so false.
c. 5.520 = 5.52 < 5.71, so 5.520 > 5.71 is false.
d. 5.26 > 5.17 (0.26 > 0.17), so 5.26 < 5.17 is false.
