Question

If a graph of a set has an open circle on 1/2 and an arrow pointing to the right, then which of the following numbers is in the set? Please help :)
3/8
1/2
5/6

Answer 1

5/6 would be the best answer beside the other 2 choices that you have

Answer 2

According to the question, if you graph this on a number line, it basically means any number that is greater than $\frac{1}{2}$ (arrow points to the right is all numbers greater than).

Open circle means that $\frac{1}{2}$ is not included.

So we are looking for the option that is greater than $\frac{1}{2}$.

If we divide the choices and make them decimal numbers, it is very easy to see which is the correct answer.

$\frac{3}{8} =0.375$

$\frac{1}{2} =0.5$

$\frac{5}{6} =0.83$

Clearly, $\frac{5}{6}$ is greater than $\frac{1}{2}$. So third answer choice is correct.

ANSWER: $\frac{5}{6}$
