Question

Match each point with one of the following rational number:

Answer 1

A = -0.7
B = -9/16 (0.5623)
C = -0.4
D = -5/16 (0.3125)

The last option is correct 

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D) is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

A number line is shown in the figure. When observed we can make the following observations:

1. A, B, C and D lies between -1 and 0.
2. Point A and B lies between -1 and 0.5
3. Point C and D lies between -0.5 and 0
4. Hence, A and B must have a negative value lying between -1 and 0.5
5. Hence, C and D must have a negative value lying between -0.5 and 0.

A) Incorrect representation.

C cannot have a value smaller than -0.5

B) Incorrect representation.

D is positive but should have a negative value.

C) Incorrect representation.

A is positive but should have a negative value value.

D) Correct representation.

$A = -0.7, B = -\displaystyle\frac{9}{16} = -0.5625, C = -0.4, D = -\frac{5}{16} = -0.3125$

Option D) is the correct option.
