Step-by-Step Solution

To find out which numbers appear in our number range, we will first add 0 to both numbers as follows:

0.2=0.20 0.2=\text{0}.20

0.3=0.30 0.3=0.30

This means that our number is between 0.20 and 0.30.

The numbers existing in this range are: 0.21,0.22,0.23,0.24,0.25,0.26,0.27,0.28, 0.21,0.22,0.23,0.24,0.25,0.26,0.27,0.28, and 0.29 0.29 .
