On the number line above, LN = $\dpi{80} \frac{1}{8}$ . Point M (not shown) is located between point L and point N. Which value below is a possible value for M?

A4.26
B4.31
C4.35
D4.58

Show the answer

Correct answer: C

Since $LN=frac{1}{8}$ , point $N$ is located at

$4frac{5}{16}+frac{1}{8}=frac{69}{16}+frac{2}{16}=frac{71}{16}=4frac{7}{16}$

So $M$ must be between point $L$ $4frac{5}{16}$ , and point $N$ $4frac{7}{16}$ ,

$L$ can written as 4.3125,

and point

$N$ can be written as 4.4375.

The only option given that lies between those two points is 4.35.
