Question

Which rational number could be graphed between 0 and 1?A number line going from negative 5 to positive 3 in increments of 1.Negative one-halfOne-fourthThree-halves1.75

Answer 1

In order to find which rational number is between 0 and 1, let's convert them into their decimal form:

`\begin{gathered} \text{negative one-half:} \\ -(1)/(2)=-0.5 \\ \\ \text{one}-\text{fourth:} \\ (1)/(4)=0.25 \\ \\ \text{three}-\text{halves:} \\ 3\cdot(1)/(2)=(3)/(2)=1.5 \\ \\ 1.75 \end{gathered}`

Looking at the numbers in their decimal form, we can see that the number between 0 and 1 is one-fourth, therefore the correct option is the second one.
