Question

Which number is between 0.5 and 5/8 ?

A. 1/4

B. 2/28

C. 9/16

D. 19/28

Answer 1

So whats between 0.5 and 0.625

Answer 2

Clearly your option A would be wrong as 1/4 is 0.25 which is less than 0.5 itself
Notice your option B is quite a small fraction(small numerator as compared to denominator), it would easily be less than even 0.25 so it is wrong as well, for your option C, we know that 8/16 is 0.5 so 9/16 would be only slightly more than 0.5, so it plausible.What do you think about D?

Answer 3

C is the answer because \[\frac{ 9 }{ 16 } = 0.5625\] So 9/16 is right between the two.
