Question

level 157
which statement is true?
select an answer
a s is at $2\frac{4}{10}$.
b e is at $3\frac{5}{10}$.
c r is at $3\frac{6}{10}$.
d s is at $1\frac{4}{10}$.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the number line

The number line has marks from 0 to 4, with each whole number divided into 10 equal parts (since between 0 and 1, there are 10 small ticks). So each tick represents $\frac{1}{10}$.

Step2: Locate point S

Point S is between 2 and 3. Let's count the ticks from 2. From 2, moving 4 ticks (since each tick is $\frac{1}{10}$), so the position of S is $2 + \frac{4}{10}=2\frac{4}{10}$.

Step3: Check other points (optional for elimination)

• Point E: Between 0 and 1, let's say around 0.5 (or $\frac{5}{10}$), not $3\frac{5}{10}$.
• Point R: Between 3 and 4, let's count ticks from 3. If we count, it's not $3\frac{6}{10}$ (more like $3.6$? Wait, no, let's recheck. Wait, the number line: from 3, how many ticks? Wait, maybe my initial check for S is correct. Let's confirm S: from 2, 4 ticks: 2 + 0.4 = 2.4 = $2\frac{4}{10}$. So option A says S is at $2\frac{4}{10}$, which matches.

Answer:

A. S is at $2\frac{4}{10}$
