Question

Choose the correct repersentation of $8\frac{1}{25}$ on a number line.

• A.
• B.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

We can represent $8\frac{1}{25}$ as $8+\frac{1}{25}.$

Let's convert $\frac{1}{25}$ into its decimal format by converting the denominator into a multiple of 10.

We know, $25\times 4=100$

$\therefore$ Multiply the numerator and denominator by 4.

$\frac{1}{25}=\frac{1\times 4}{25\times 4}=\frac{4}{100}=0.04$

$\therefore 8+\frac{1}{25}=8+0.04=8.04$

We know, $8.04$ is greater than $8$, but less than $\mathrm{8.1.}$
Divide the interval between $8$ and $8.1$ into $10$ equal parts and representation $\mathrm{8.04.}$
