On the number line, which point is closer to 1: 1/10 or 9/10?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 9/10

The governing concept is distance on a number line, measured by the absolute difference from the reference point. For 1/10, the distance from 1 is |1−1/10|=|9/10|=9/10. For 9/10, the distance is |1−9/10|=1/10. Since 1/10 is less than 9/10, the point 9/10 is closer to 1. Therefore option B is correct. Option A reverses the two calculated distances. Option C would be valid only if the distances were equal, which they are not, and option D is impossible because both fractions denote definite real points on the number line. The comparison can also be seen geometrically: 9/10 lies only one tenth to the left of 1, whereas 1/10 lies nine tenths away.
