Question

Between which two whole numbers on the number line does $0.03$ lie? Which whole number is nearer to the given number?

Answer 1

Let us imagine $0.03$ on a number line.

$0.03$ is more than $0$ and less than $1$

$0.03=3\mathrm{hundredths}$

On number line divide the portion between $0$ and $1$ into $100$ equal parts and take $3$ parts for $3\mathrm{hundredths}$ or $0.03$ and mark as P.

It is clearly nearer to $0$.

Hence, $0.03$ lie between $0$and $1$and it's nearer to $0$.
