W
+
X Y
Z
1
Which point best represents 331% of the distance between 0
and 1?
A Point W
B Point X
C Point Y
D Point Z

Answer 1

To find the point that best represents 331% of the distance between 0 and 1, we need to first calculate 331% of the distance between 0 and 1, which is:

331% of (1 - 0) = 3.31 * (1 - 0) = 3.31

So we want to find the point on the number line that is 3.31 units away from 0.

Looking at the number line, we can see that the distance between W and X is 1 unit, the distance between X and Y is 1/3 unit, and the distance between Y and Z is 2/3 unit.

Therefore, the point that best represents 331% of the distance between 0 and 1 is the point that is 1 unit away from 0 and then an additional 0.31 units away from that point. This point is on the segment between W and X, and is closer to X.

So, the point that best represents 331% of the distance between 0 and 1 is Point X.

Therefore, the answer is (B) Point X.
