Question

Helpp Which statement about the inequality `2(1)/(5) < 2(3)/(5)` is true?

A. On the vertical number line, `2(1)/(5)` is located below `2(3)/(5)`.
B. On the vertical number line, `2(3)/(5)` is located below `2(1)/(5)`.
C. On the vertical number line, `2(3)/(5)` and `2(1)/(5)` are located at the same point.
D. On the vertical number line, `2(1)/(5)` and `2(3)/(5)` are both located below 0.

Answer 1

b

Explanation:

Answer 2

We are given inequality 2(1)/(5) < 2(3)/(5).

This can be read as : 2(1)/(5) is less than 2(3)/(5).

Therefore, 2(3)/(5) is vertically up than 2(1)/(5).

That is On the vertical number line 2(3)/(5) is up and 2(1)/(5) is located below.

Therefore, correct option is B option.

B. On the vertical number line, `2(3)/(5)` is located below `2(1)/(5)`.

All other statements are incorrect.
