Math Problem Statement
Use the number line below to determine which of the following answer choices has statements that are true.
Solution
Let's analyze the number line in the image and the given answer choices step by step:
Number line analysis:
- Points are marked as A, B, C, and D on the number line.
- Point A appears to be at .
- Point B appears to be at or .
- Point C appears to be at .
- Point D appears to be at .
Now, let's check the given answer choices against this information:
-
Option 1:
- Point B represents ✔️ (which matches).
- Point C represents ✔️ (which matches).
- The inequality is incorrect, because is greater than .
-
Option 2:
- Point B represents ❌ (incorrect; point B represents ).
- Point C represents ✔️ (correct).
- is correct, but this option is incorrect overall because point B is not .
-
Option 3:
- Point A represents ✔️ (which matches).
- Point D represents ❌ (incorrect, as point D represents ).
- The inequality is correct, but the option is incorrect because of the wrong point representation for D.
-
Option 4:
- Point B represents ✔️ (correct).
- Point C represents ✔️ (correct).
- The inequality is correct.
Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
