Answer:
B. 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the correct answer to this problem by seeing if the answer choices fit the following criteria:
- It is greater than 1.5; the number line only provides intervals every .5 interval. The nearest interval below G is 1.5
- It is less than 2; the nearest interval above G is 2.
Now, let's look at the answers:
- 1.4; this answer won't work because 1.4 < 1.5
- 3/5; this answer won't work because it is also less than 1.5 (3/5 = .6 and .6 < 1.5)
- 5/3; this answer works because it is greater than 1.5. You can tell because it is equal to 1 2/3 and 2/3 is greater than 1/2or .5. 5/3 is also less than 2
- 2.6; this answer won't work because it is greater than 2
