If a graph of a set has an open circle on 1/2 and an arrow pointing to the right, then which of the following numbers is in the set? Please help :)


3/8

1/2

5/6

Verified Answer :

5/6 would be the best answer beside the other 2 choices that you have

According to the question, if you graph this on a number line, it basically means any number that is greater than \(\frac{1}{2}\) (arrow points to the right is all numbers greater than).

Open circle means that \(\frac{1}{2}\) is not included.

So we are looking for the option that is greater than \(\frac{1}{2}\).

If we divide the choices and make them decimal numbers, it is very easy to see which is the correct answer.

\(\frac{3}{8} =0.375\)

\(\frac{1}{2} =0.5\)

\(\frac{5}{6} =0.83\)

Clearly, \(\frac{5}{6}\) is greater than \(\frac{1}{2}\). So third answer choice is correct.


ANSWER: \(\frac{5}{6}\)
