Solution
The point graphed on the number line is between and , and it is closer to . Let's evaluate the choices:
- Choice A: – This value is much larger than the range we are looking at (which is between and ), so it cannot be correct.
- Choice B: – This value falls between and and is closer to , matching the description perfectly.
- Choice C: – This value is significantly larger than and does not fit the number line provided.
The correct answer is Choice B: .
