A. 1.6
B. 1.5
C. 0.5
D. 0.05
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

Consider the given number line.

Observe that:

The distance between 1 and 2 is divided into 10 equal parts.

So, each part represents a length of one-tenth or 0.1.

Now, count the number of parts from 1 to a.

There are 5 parts.

This means that the point a is 5 parts to the right of 1 or 5 tenths after 1.

Now, 1 and 5 tenths equals 1.5.

So, the decimal represented by the point a is 1.5.
