Which decimal represents 11/5 on the number line?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 2.2
To convert 11/5 into a decimal, make the denominator 10 or divide directly. Multiplying numerator and denominator by 2 gives 11/5 = 22/10 = 2.2. Therefore the point representing 11/5 on the number line is 2.2, so option B is correct. Direct division gives the same result: 5 goes into 11 twice with remainder 1, and the remainder produces 0.2 after placing the decimal. Option A equals 2.1, option C equals 1.2, and option D is 5.11; none of these equals 2.2. Thus only option B is equivalent to the given fraction.
