0.023 lies between
0.2 and 0.3
0.02 and 0.03
0.03 and 0.029
0.026 and 0.024
Step 1: Write the number with equal places.
0.02 ← write as (0.020)
0.023 ← already (0.023)
0.03 ← write as (0.030)
Step 2: Compare place values.
All have two digits after decimal for hundredths and three for thousandths.
Compare thousandths: (020 < 023 < 030)
Step 3: Decide the interval.
(0.020 < 0.023 < 0.030)
So, (0.023) lies between (0.02) and (0.03).
Check other options quickly.
(0.2) to (0.3): (0.023) is much smaller than (0.2). Not correct.
(0.03) to (0.029): order is wrong since (0.029 < 0.03). Not an interval containing (0.023).
(0.026) to (0.024): again order is wrong and both are greater than (0.023) or very close. Not correct.
Answer: Between (0.02) and (0.03) (Option B).
