Question

today you will play \whats nearby?\ you will sort decimals by thinking about which numbers they are close to. try a warm - up round first using money to think about the decimals. dive deeper: use the number line to explain why each number is closer to $1.00 or $2.00. $1.00 $1.50 $2.00 complete each sentence. $1.15 is closer to ? because $1.15 is ? $1.50.

Explanation:

Step1: Find distance to $1.00

Calculate the absolute difference between $1.15 and $1.00: $|1.15 - 1.00| = 0.15$.

Step2: Find distance to $1.50

Calculate the absolute difference between $1.15 and $1.50: $|1.15 - 1.50| = 0.35$.

Step3: Compare distances

Since $0.15 < 0.35$, $1.15$ is closer to $1.00$. Also, $1.15 < 1.50$ (so it's less than $1.50$).

Answer:

$1.00$; less than
