Question

Alyssa will correctly label the numbers 48.4, 48482, 48.09, and 48on the number line below.

Answer 1

Answer:
`48(3)/(5)`Explanations:

The numbers under consideration are:

`48.4,\text{ 48}(1)/(2),\text{ 48.09, 48}(3)/(5)`

Converting all the numbers to decimal:

`\begin{gathered} 48(1)/(2)=\text{ 48+0.5 = 48.5} \\ 48(3)/(5)=\text{ 48 + }0.6\text{ = 48.6} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the numbers can be written as:

48.4, 48.5, 48.09, and 48.6

Out of these numbers, only 48.6 is closest to 49

`48(3)/(5)\text{ is closest to 49}`
