Which point is closer to 3 on the number line, 3.04 or 3.4?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3.04

The governing concept is distance on a number line: the distance between a number x and 3 is |x − 3|. For 3.04, the distance is |3.04 − 3| = 0.04. For 3.4, it is |3.4 − 3| = 0.4. Because 0.04 is smaller than 0.4, the point 3.04 lies closer to 3. Equivalently, 3.04 is only four hundredths to the right of 3, whereas 3.4 is four tenths to the right. Therefore option A is correct. Option B confuses the larger decimal displacement with greater closeness, while option C is false because the distances are not equal. Option D is also false because both points have definite positions.
