Question

If a graph of a set has an open circle on 1/2 and an arrow pointing to the right, then which of the following numbers is in the set? Please help :)

3/8
1/2
5/6

Answer 1

5/6 would be the best answer beside the other 2 choices that you have

Answer 2

According to the question, if you graph this on a number line, it basically means any number that is greater than
`(1)/(2)` (arrow points to the right is all numbers greater than).

Open circle means that
`(1)/(2)` is not included.

So we are looking for the option that is greater than
`(1)/(2)`.

If we divide the choices and make them decimal numbers, it is very easy to see which is the correct answer.

`(3)/(8) =0.375`

`(1)/(2) =0.5`

`(5)/(6) =0.83`

Clearly,
`(5)/(6)` is greater than
`(1)/(2)`. So third answer choice is correct.

ANSWER:
`(5)/(6)`
