Which point on the number line represents
\[0.059\]?
A number line from 0 to 0.1, labeled in steps of 0.01. Point A is  between 0.04 and 0.05 and is nearer to 0.05. Point B is  between 0.05 and 0.06 and is nearer to 0.06. Point C is  between 0.09 and 0.10 and is in the middle.

To find the point on the number line that represents \(0.059\), let's analyze the number line and points given:

- Point \( A \) is between \(0.04\) and \(0.05\) and closer to \(0.05\).
- Point \( B \) is between \(0.05\) and \(0.06\) and closer to \(0.06\).
- Point \( C \) is between \(0.09\) and \(0.10\) and located in the middle.

Now, \(0.059\) is very close to \(0.06\) but slightly less than it. Point \( B \), which is between \(0.05\) and \(0.06\) and closer to \(0.06\), represents the correct location for \(0.059\).

Thus, the correct answer is:
\[
\boxed{B}
\]

Would you like more details or have any questions? Here are five follow-up questions:

1. How do you determine the position of decimals on a number line?
2. What would the placement be for a number like \(0.051\)?
3. Can you explain how to identify which point is closest to a given decimal?
4. Why is Point C not the correct representation for \(0.059\)?
5. How would you locate \(0.045\) on the same number line?

**Tip**: When comparing decimals, always look at the digits progressively from left to right.

Which point on the number line represents 0.059? A number line from 0 to 0.1, labeled in steps of 0.01. Point A is between 0.04 and 0.05 and is nearer to 0.05. Point B is between 0.05 and 0.06 and is nearer to 0.06. Point C is between 0.09 and 0.10 and is in the middle.
