CoachThe sets of rational and of real numbers are infinitely dense. This means that there are infinitely many numbers between any two numbers. So, if you claim that x is closest to 100 then there are infinitely many numbers between x and 100. Each one of these will be closer to 100 so x cannot be the closest. An example of the intermediate value is (100 + x)/2.
