If Luis correctly marked 2.12, 2 1/50, 2.32 and 256% on a number line, which number was the closest to 2?
2 1/50 = 2.02 so you rank
2.12, 2.02, 2.32, 256. Which is the closest to 2.0
2 +1/50 = 2+.20
2.32 = 2+ .32
256% = 2.56 = 2+ .56
2.12 wins
whoops
2 +1/50 = 2 + 0.02 the winner
To find the number that is closest to 2 on a number line, we need to compare the given values and determine which one is closest to 2.
Let's look at the given values:
1. 2.12
2. 2 1/50 (or 2.02 as a decimal)
3. 2.32
4. 256% (which is equivalent to 2.56 as a decimal)
To determine which number is closest to 2, we can subtract each value from 2 and see which one gives us the smallest positive difference.
Let's do the calculations:
1. Difference between 2.12 and 2: 2.12 - 2 = 0.12
2. Difference between 2.02 and 2: 2.02 - 2 = 0.02
3. Difference between 2.32 and 2: 2.32 - 2 = 0.32
4. Difference between 2.56 and 2: 2.56 - 2 = 0.56
From the calculations, we can see that the smallest positive difference is 0.02, which corresponds to the value 2.02.
Therefore, the number that is closest to 2 is 2 1/50 or 2.02.
