Question

which of these number lies between 0.003 and 0.1 ? A)0.12 B) 0.002 C) 0.102 D) 0.012

Answer 1

➼ Given:

A list of numbers and asked to find which number lies between 0.03 and 0.1

➼ Solution:

Let us convert the decimal into an fraction so that we would find it easy !

=> 0.003 = 3 / 1000 --------(1)

=> 0.1 = 1 / 10

{ in order to make denominator same multiply "100" both denominator and numerator }

=> 0.1 = 100/ 1000 --------------(2)

Now , Let's compare (1) and (2) ;

While comparing The denomiator looks same then the number which has high value numerator is Greater.

Therefore 3/1000 > 1 / 1000

Let's look at the option :

A) 0.12 = 120/ 1000

B) 0.002 = 2 / 1000

C) 0.102 = 102 / 1000

D) 0.012 = 12 /1000

➼ Among four options (B) and (D) lies between 0.003 and 0.1
