Question

What conclusion can be based on the given statement?
q is a whole number between 42.3 and 43.1
A. q = 42.1
B. q = 43.0
C. q = 43.4

Answer 1

42.3 < 43 < 43.1
43 is inbetween the two values, so it can be q.

Answer 2

Answer:

The option B. q = 43.0 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Whole Number : It is defined as non-negative integer whose fraction or decimal part is always 0.

Now, it is given that q is a whole number between 42.3 and 43.1

So, to find q :

The given options are :

A. q = 42.1 : As the decimal part is not 0 in 42.1 so it cannot be whole number. So this option is rejected.

C. q = 43.4 : As the decimal part is not 0 in 43.4 so it cannot be whole number. So this option is rejected.

B. q = 43.0 : The decimal part in 43.0 is 0 so it is an whole number.

Also 42.3 < q = 43.0 < 43.1

So, the required value of q = 43.0

Hence, The option B. q = 43.0 is correct
