Answer 1

A. 5.3

Explanation:

While both of these numbers are close to 7, 5.3 is the closest and we can find this out with subtraction. So, 9.9 - 7 = 2.9, but 7 - 5.3 = 1.7. Which one can we determine is closer? Well, 2.9 > 1.7, so our answer must be A. 5.3!

Have a nice day and I hope this helped!
