Question

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

$0.7$

Answer 1

Since $0.7$is greater than $0$ and less then $1$.

$\therefore 0.7$lies between $0\mathrm{and}1$.

So, we divide the unit length between $0$ and $1$into $10$ equal parts and take $7$ parts as shown below.

From the above representation, we can clearly see that $0.7$is nearer to $1$.
