Final answer:
The false statement is C, as the ten thousandths place is four places to the right of the decimal. The other statements are true, with option A confirming the position of the numerator in a fraction, option B validating the rounding procedure, option D identifying an improper fraction, and option E equating a percentage to its fraction representation. Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
Among the given options, the false statement is: C. Ten thousandths place is located 5 places to the right of the decimal. This statement is false because the ten thousandths place is actually four places to the right of the decimal point. Now let's analyze the other options:
A. In the fraction ½, one is the numerator. This is a true statement as the numerator is the number above the fraction bar, indicating how many parts of the whole are being considered.
B. When 4.89 is rounded to the ones place, the answer is 5. This is true. Rounding to the nearest ones place, you consider the tenths place, and since it's 8 (which is greater than 5), you round up to 5.
D. 7/6 is described as an improper fraction. This is true because an improper fraction is defined as a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.
E. 33 1/3 % is equivalent to 1/3. This is also a true statement. A percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100, so 33 1/3 % is equal to 33.333.../100, which reduces to 1/3. Option C
