Question

On the following number, the approximate locations of five real numbers are graphed. Choose the correct location of each number on the number line

Answer 1

-√(1/4) = C

-5/2 = A

√4 = 2 = E

1/3 = D

-√2 = B

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine the position of the numbers given:

-√(1/4) = -(√1)/(√4) = -(1/2) = - 0.5

-5/2 = - 2.5

√4 = 2

1/3 = 0.33

-√2 = -1.4

We check the number line for alphabets that represent these numbers.

-0.5 is between 0 and -1

-√(1/4)= -0.5 = C

-2.5 is between -2 and -3

-5/2 = -2.5 = A

Alphabeth E is on 2

√4 = 2 = E

0.3 is between 0 and 1. it's closer to 0

1/3 = D

-1.4 is between -1 and -2. It is closer to -1

-√2 = B
