Between which two integers does (\frac{5}{2}) lie on the number line?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (2) and (3)

The direct answer is A: \(\frac52\) lies between 2 and 3. A fraction \(\frac52\) means 5 divided by 2. Dividing gives \(2.5\). Since \(2<2.5<3\), its point on the number line is between the consecutive integers 2 and 3. Option A is correct. Option B, 1 and 2, cannot contain 2.5 because 2.5 is greater than 2. Option C, 3 and 4, is too far to the right because 2.5 is less than 3. Option D, 0 and 1, is also too small. Another method is to write \(\frac52=2+\frac12\): start at 2 and move halfway toward 3. The exam cue is to compare the fraction with nearby integers, or convert it to a decimal carefully.
