Question

Which of the following rational numbers lies between 3 and $\frac{35}{10}$?

• A. 2.9
• B. $\frac{36}{10}$
• C. $\frac{34}{10}$
• D. $\frac{37}{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{34}{10}$

The given numbers are 3 and $\frac{35}{10}(=3.5)$.

2.9 < 3
$\frac{36}{10}=3.6>3.5$
$\frac{34}{10}=3.4<3.5$

Also, 3.4 > 3

$\frac{37}{10}=3.7>3.5$
Thus, only $\frac{34}{10}$ lies between 3 and $\frac{35}{10}$.

Hence, the correct answer is option c.
