Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

In order to discover our number range, we will first add 0 to both numbers as follows:

0.1=0.10 0.1=0.10

0.2=0.20 0.2=0.20

This means our number will be in the range of 0.10 to 0.20.

The numbers that exist in this range are: 0.11,0.12,0.13,0.14,0.15,0.16,0.17,0.18,0.19 0.11,0.12,0.13,0.14,0.15,0.16,0.17,0.18,0.19

Now if we look at the possible answers, we can see that 0.15 is within this range and therefore is the correct answer.

Answer

0.15 0.15
