Question

Jenny is playing with pebbles. She makes a straight line using the pebbles by placing them one after another and calculates the distance between two pebbles as $\frac{11}{3}$ ft. What is the correct representation of this distance on the number line ?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Distance between two pebbles
$=\frac{11}{3}\text{ft}$
$=\mathrm{3.666...}\text{ft}$

Of the divisions between 3 and 4, $\frac{11}{3}$ lies between the 6th and the 7th divisions.
