Question

Between which two numbers in the tenths place on the number line does each of the given numbers lie?
(a) 0.06
(b) 0.45
(c) 0.19
(d) 0.66
(e) 0.92
(f) 0.57

Answer 1

Hint: To solve this problem we will observe the given number and then find the nearest possible tenth place number which is less than the given number and also the number which is greater than the given number. Those two numbers will be our answer for the given number as it will lie in between them.

Complete step by step answer:
We have to find the two nearest numbers in the tenths place on the number line for which the given number lies in between them.
(a) 0.06
If we observe nearest lower number than 0.06 according to the given criteria is 0.0, so
0.06 > 0.0
Similarly, nearest larger number we get as,
0.06 < 0.1
So 0.06 lies between 0.0 and 0.1. it is our answer.
(b) 0.45
We can observe that,
0.45 > 0.4
And,
0.45 < 0.5
So it lies between 0.4 and 0.5
(c) 0.19
We can observe that,
0.19 > 0.1
And,
0.19 < 0.2
So it lies between 0.1 and 0.2
(d) 0.66
We can observe that,
0.66 > 0.6
And,
0.66 < 0.7
So it lies between 0.6 and 0.7
(e) 0.92
We can observe that,
0.92 > 0.9
And,
0.92 < 1.0
So it lies between 0.9 and 1.0
(f) 0.57
We can observe that,
0.57 > 0.5
And,
0.57 < 0.6
So it lies between 0.5 and 0.6

Note: This was a very simple problem. There is nothing much where you can commit an error. It's just basic calculation so just do it carefully when you are assuming a lower and larger number as you may skip a number and may get the wrong answer. Try to solve more problems of this kind so that you may solve these problems faster.
