Question

Between which two whole numbers on the number line does $1.35$ lie? Which whole number is nearer to the given number?

Answer 1

Let us imagine $1.35$ on a number line.

$1.35$ is more than $1$ and less than $2$

$1.35=1+0.35=1+3\mathrm{tenths}+5\mathrm{hundredths}$

On number line divide the portion between $1$ and $2$ into $100$ equal parts and take $35$ parts for $3\mathrm{tenths}5\mathrm{hundredths}$ or $1.35$ and mark as P.

It is clearly nearer to $1$.

Hence, $1.35$ lie between $1$ and $2$ and it's nearer to $1$.
