Question

Which of the following numbers is between 4 1/3 and 4 3/5 on a number line?

A. 4.1
B 4.2
C. 4.3
D. 4.4​

Answer 1

Answer: 4.4

Explanation:

It simplifies the process to write the fractions in decimal form as well. 4 1/3 is equal to 4.333.. and 4 3/5 is equal to 4.6. We can then identify which of the given numbers is between the two.

4.1 is less than 4.333, so it will not work.

4.2 is less than 4.333, so it will not work.

Although 4.3 has the same tenths place as 4.333, the numbers in the decimal place after the tenths place show that 4.3 is also less than 4.3333.

This leave 4.4 to be the only value that is greater than 4.333, and it is also less than 4.6.

Hope this helps!
