A. 5.6
B. 6.0
C. 6.4
D. 5.4
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

Consider the given number line.

Observe that:

The distance between 5 and 6 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 5 to y.

There are 6 parts.

This means that the point y is 6 parts to the right of 5 or 6 tenths after 5.

Now, 5 and 6 tenths equals 5.6.

So, the decimal represented by the point y is 5.6.
