What is the value of point C? A. 9.75 B. 8.75 C. 8.5 D. 0.85
I'm pretty sure a pic should go with this...
just a min
what two numbers is C in between ?
here it is
Yes. Now what two numbers is C in between ?
between c and what
the dot that represents C is in between what two numbers on the number line?
look at the line, with the numbers 5,6,7... the C is in between two numbers. what are they ?
ohh 8 and 9
now only two of your choices are between 8 and 9 any idea which is the correct answer ?
btw, 8.5 is exactly in the center between 8 and 9
also, notice that between 8 and 9 are 4 little lines. C is on the 3rd line out of 4 it is ¾ of the way between 8 and 9 if you change ¾ to a decimal you get the exact answer
then its 8.6 i think but its not a choice
0.6 is 6/10 or 3/5 you want ¾
but common sense says you want the choice that is bigger than 8.5 because C is not in the exact middle. It is closer to the 9
Here's some help. Every line goes up by 0.25
8.75
yes. btw, this is how you read a ruler, to the nearest ¼ so it is worth learning.
