Let's analyze the different statements provided and determine which ones are true based on the position of the number 1.42 on the number line.
Statement A: 1.42 between 0.42 and 0.44
- This statement means that the number 1.42 should lie between the numbers 0.42 and 0.44. However, 1.42 is much greater than both 0.42 and 0.44. Therefore, this statement is false.
Statement B: 1.42 to the right of 1.41
- This statement means that the number 1.42 should be greater than 1.41. Since 1.42 is indeed greater than 1.41, this statement is true.
Statement C: 1.42 to the left of 1.43
- This statement means that the number 1.42 should be less than 1.43. Since 1.42 is indeed less than 1.43, this statement is true.
Statement D: 1.42 between 0 and 1
- This statement means that the number 1.42 should lie between 0 and 1. However, 1.42 is greater than 1, so this statement is false.
In summary, the correct statements are:
- B: to the right of 1.41
- C: to the left of 1.43
So, the true answers are B and C.
