OpenStudy (phi):

what two numbers is C in between ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here it is

OpenStudy (phi):

Yes. Now what two numbers is C in between ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

between c and what

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

the dot that represents C is in between what two numbers on the number line?

OpenStudy (phi):

look at the line, with the numbers 5,6,7... the C is in between two numbers. what are they ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh 8 and 9

OpenStudy (phi):

now only two of your choices are between 8 and 9 any idea which is the correct answer ?

OpenStudy (phi):

btw, 8.5 is exactly in the center between 8 and 9

OpenStudy (phi):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then its 8.6 i think but its not a choice

OpenStudy (phi):

0.6 is 6/10 or 3/5 you want ¾

OpenStudy (phi):

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

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Here's some help. Every line goes up by 0.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.75

OpenStudy (phi):

yes. btw, this is how you read a ruler, to the nearest ¼ so it is worth learning.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oki Thank You Phi and pixidust1and Studygurl14
