Question

For the given decimal −0.009, find the two integers closest to it.

Answer 1

Answer:

The two integers closest to -0.009 are -1 and 0

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the number

$-0.009$

Convert to fraction number

$-0.009=-\frac{9}{1,000}$

In a number line

$-\frac{1,000}{1,000} < -\frac{9}{1,000}$

Remember that

$-\frac{1,000}{1,000}=-1\\\frac{0}{1,000}=0$

so

$-1 < -\frac{9}{1,000}$

therefore

The two integers closest to -0.009 are -1 and 0
