Answer 1

The answer will be 21.9,22.08,22.07

Answer 2

21.9, 22.07

Explanation:

A number x is less than 22.075,

If 22.075 - x = positive number,

∵ 22.075 - 21.9 = 0.175 ( positive )

22.075 - 22.08 = −0.005 ( negative )

22.075 - 23.06 = −0.985 ( negative )

22.075 - 22.07 = 0.005 ( positive )

22.075 - 22.079 = −0.004 ( negative )

Hence, the numbers that are less than 22.075 are,

21.9, 22.07
