Correct option is:

B. 2

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

From the double number line shown we can set:

$(1) \ 0x=0 \\ \\ (2) \ x=? \\ \\ (3) \ 5x=10 \\ \\ (4) \ 5x+4=14$

So we can solve this problem by using either equation (3) or (4). So, choosing equation (3):

$5x=10 \\ \\ \\ Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 5: \\ \\ x=\frac{10}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{x=2}$

Answer:

beam, vault, uneven bars, floor

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

A group of gymnasts were asked to name their favorite piece of equipment. 0.33 of the gymnasts chose the vault, 4/9 chose the beam, 0.08 chose the floor exercise, and 1/7 chose the uneven parallel bars. List their choices in order of preference from greatest to least.

step 1

Convert 4/9 and 1/7 to decimals in order to compare with the other values

4/9=0.44

1/7=0.14

step 2

Compare the values

0.44 > 0.33 > 0.14 > 0.08

therefore

The order of preferences from greatest to least is

beam, vault, uneven bars, floor
