Which number completes the inequality?

Question

1.01 less-than blank less-than 1.17, less-than 1.20
1.008
1.08
1.18
1.8

Answer 1

To complete the inequality $1.01<\text{blank}<1.17<1.20$, we should find the number that fits in between $1.01$ and $1.17$ without exceeding $1.17$.

Let's evaluate the options:

1. 1.008: This number is less than $1.01$, so it does not fit in the inequality.
2. 1.08: This number is greater than $1.01$ and less than $1.17$. It fits the inequality.
3. 1.18: This is greater than $1.17$, so it does not fit in the inequality.
4. 1.8: This is also greater than $1.20$, so it does not fit in the inequality.

The only number that completes the inequality is:

1.08.
