Question

Write a decimal number that is greater than 48.1 but less than 48.2

Answer 1

There are countless answers, however, one example is 48.15

Explanation:

There are countless numbers between 48.1 and 48.2.

For example, we can have 48.101, 48.1001, 48.10001, 48.100001, etc. We can add more zeros in the number and it would still be between 48.1 and 48.2.

Answer 2

A decimal number that is greater than 48.1 but less than 48.2 is 48.15.

SOLUTION:

Given, two numbers are 48.1 and 48.2

We need to write a decimal greater than 48.1 but less than 48.2.

We know that, average of two numbers will be greater than lesser number and smaller than bigger number.

Here, smaller number = 48.1

Bigger number = 48.2

Now, average =
`\frac{\text { sum of observations }}{\text { number of observations }}`

`\text { Average }=(48.1+48.2)/(2)`

=
`=(96.3)/(2)`

Average = 48.15

48.15 is greater than 48.1 ( 48.15 > 48.1 )

48.15 is lesser than 48.2 ( 48.15 < 48.2 )

Hence, a decimal number that is greater than 48.1 but less than 48.2 is 48.15.
