Question

Arrange the numbers with the help of a number line:

$14.28,15.25\text{and}15.23$

• A. $14.28<15.23<15.25$
• B. $15.23<15.25<14.28$
• C. $15.25<15.23<14.28$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $14.28<15.23<15.25$

Let's mark the numbers on the number line one by one.

14.28

14.28 is more than 14 but less than 15.

$\therefore$ 14.28 will lie left to 15.


15.25

15.25 is less than 15.5 but greater than 15.

$\therefore$ 15.25 will lie right of 15.


15.23

15.23 is less than 15.25 but greater than 15.

$\therefore$ 15.23 will lie in between 15 and 15.25.


Hence, $14.28<15.23<15.25$
