A. 0.1
B. 0.3
C. 1.3
D. 1.9
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

Consider the given number line.

Observe that:

The distance between 0 and 1; 1 and 2 each 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 g.

There are 6 parts.

This means that the point g is 6 parts to the right of 1 or 6 tenths after 1.

Now, 1 and 6 tenths equals 1.6.

So, the decimal represented by the point g is 1.6.

Similarly, the decimal represented by the point h is 1.9.​

Now, let's find the difference between the decimals represented by the points g and h.

Notice that point h is 3 parts ahead of point g.

Also, we know each part represents a length of one-tenth or 0.1.

So, 3 parts is 3 tenths or 0.3.

The difference between the decimals represented by the points g and h is 0.3.
