Question

For the given decimal −0.009, find the two integers closest to it.

Answer 1

The two integers closest to -0.009 are -1 and 0

Explanation:

we have the number

`-0.009`

Convert to fraction number

`-0.009=-(9)/(1,000)`

In a number line

`-(1,000)/(1,000) < -(9)/(1,000) <(0)/(1,000)`

Remember that

`-(1,000)/(1,000)=-1\\(0)/(1,000)=0`

so

`-1 < -(9)/(1,000) <0`

therefore

The two integers closest to -0.009 are -1 and 0
