3.140 3.141 (π) 3.142 3.143
Here, the symbol π is accurately positioned between 3.140 and 3.142 to represent its approximate value. The two common approximations, 3.14 and 22/7, are also labeled. The point 3.14 is to the left of π, indicating it is a less accurate approximation. The fraction 22/7 falls between 3.141 and 3.142, displaying its position on the number line.
This visualization emphasizes the proximity of π to its decimal approximations, illustrating that 3.141 provides a closer estimate to the true value of π than the less precise 3.14 or 22/7.
