Question

Complete the statements about the following numbers 2/7 0.1 0.9 6/8 the point closest to the benchmark one is at

Answer 1

SOLUTION

From the question, I understand you are asked which of the numbers are closest to 1

This becomes

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{7}=0.3 \\ 0.1 \\ 0.9 \\ \frac{6}{8}=0.8 \end{gathered}$

The largest decimal is 0.9, and it is the closest to 1. This is because 0.9 when rounded up gives 1 and it is the largest of all the decimals as we can see above.

Hence the answer is 0.9 is closest to the benchmark 1.
