Question

In the given figure, there are 4 equal divisions between 1 and 2. What is the value of point A (in decimal)?

• A. 1.40
• B. 1.20
• C. 1.50
• D. 1.60

Answer 1

The correct option is C

1.50

Since there are 4 divisions between 1 and 2, each division corresponds to the fraction $\frac{1}{4}.$

But, $\frac{1}{4}=\mathrm{0.25.}$

So, the point A represents the decimal $=1+0.25+0.25=1.50$
