You're welcome.
To find the number that is between 1/6 and 0.25, you can convert both fractions to decimals and compare them.
First, convert 1/6 to a decimal. Divide 1 by 6: 1 ÷ 6 = 0.1667 (rounded to four decimal places).
Next, compare 0.1667 to 0.25.
Since 0.1667 is less than 0.25, the number you're looking for must be greater than 0.1667 but less than 0.25.
Now, let's examine the given options:
A.) 7/24: To check if this fraction is between 1/6 and 0.25, convert it to a decimal. Divide 7 by 24: 7 ÷ 24 = 0.2917 (rounded to four decimal places).
Since 0.2917 is greater than 0.25, option A is not the correct answer.
B.) 1/7: Convert this fraction to a decimal. Divide 1 by 7: 1 ÷ 7 = 0.1429 (rounded to four decimal places).
Since 0.1429 is less than 0.1667, option B is not the correct answer.
C.) 2/7: Convert this fraction to a decimal. Divide 2 by 7: 2 ÷ 7 = 0.2857 (rounded to four decimal places).
Since 0.2857 is greater than 0.25, option C is not the correct answer.
D.) 5/24: Convert this fraction to a decimal. Divide 5 by 24: 5 ÷ 24 = 0.2083 (rounded to four decimal places).
Since 0.2083 is greater than 0.1667 and less than 0.25, option D is the correct answer.
