Question

Between which two whole numbers on the number line are the given numbers lies. Which of these whole numbers is nearer to the number
a) $0.8$
b) $5.1$
c) $2.6$
d) $6.4$
e) $9.1$
f) $4.5$.

Answer 1

Given here to find out which of these given whole numbers are to a number let us find out.

(a) $0.8⟺0<0.8<1$ [Ref. image (a)]

$\therefore 0.8$ is near to $1$ and it lies between $0\&1$

(b) $5.1⟺5<5.1<6$ [Ref. image (b)]

$\{5<5.1<6\}$

$\therefore 5.1$ is closer to $5$ and it lies between $5\&6$

(c) $2.6⟺2<2.6<3$[Ref. image (c)]

$\{2<2.6<3\}$

$\therefore 2.6$ is closer to $3$ & it lies between $2\&3$

(d) $6.4⟺6<6.4<7$[Ref. image (d)]

$\{6<6.4<7\}$

$\therefore 6.4$ is closer to $6$ & it lies between $6\&7$

(e) $9.1⟺9<9.1<10$[Ref. image (e)]

$\{9<9.1<10\}$

$\therefore 9.1$ is closer to $9$ & it lies between $9\&10$

(f) $4.5⟺4<4.5<5$[Ref. image (f)]

$\{4<4.5<5\}$

$\therefore 4.5$ is closer to $5$ & it lies between $4\&5$
