i see why you are irritated by the problem. Is there a choice like NONE OF THE ABOVE?

anonymous · Answer

No, no there is not. -_-.

sirm3d · Answer

hmm. the given numbers are at least 0.5 in values, but none of the choices exceed 0.5

directrix · Answer

There are infintely many numbers between .5 and 8/9. If the question had been open-ended and asked for *any* number between .5 and 8/9, then the quickest way to get that number would be to average .5 and 8/9 by adding them and dividing the sum by 2.

Here, you have to select from the given options which makes the problem less easy. Let me take a look at the options.

Anybody get >> Option D: 19/24

sirm3d · Answer

i agree with @Directrix on option D

anonymous · Answer

I also did it just now. It is option D. I converted 8/9 into a decimal, which is 0.88. I then converted the answers into decimals. 0.29, 0.33, 0.91, and 0.79. The number between 0.50 and 0.88 is 0.79, which is 19/24. Option D is correct.
