Real numbers are any kind of number you can think of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example, an interval between 0 and 10 would include not just 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 but also the other kinds of numbers between them. These would include decimal numbers like 1.3 and fractions like 1\/10 as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"268\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/real-numbers-between-0-and-1.png\" alt=\"Real Numbers between 0 and 1\" class=\"wp-image-41414\" title=\"Real Numbers between 0 and 1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/real-numbers-between-0-and-1.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/real-numbers-between-0-and-1-300x130.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-interval-notation\">Interval Notation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Interval notation is a simplified way of describing a particular interval. Let&#8217;s see how it&#8217;s done.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 1: We write the first and last number of the interval, which are the endpoints of the interval. For example, if the interval is from 6 to 20, we write 6, 20.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 2: We use a round or square bracket on each side of the two numbers. We use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A square bracket [ ], if we want to include the endpoints&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A round bracket ( ), if we don&#8217;t want to include the endpoints<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So in this example, we use:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">[6, 20] if the interval includes 6 and 20<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">(6, 20) if the interval excludes 6 and 20&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">(6, 20] if the interval excludes 6 but includes 20<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">[6, 20) if the interval includes 6 but excludes 20&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-types-of-intervals-in-math\">Types of Intervals in Math<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, we can see that some intervals include the endpoints, some partially include them, and some do not include them. Based on this, there are three types of intervals in math.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Open interval<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Closed interval<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Half-open and half-closed interval<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"5-open-interval\">Open Interval<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">This type of interval does not include the endpoints. For example, (5, 10) does not include endpoints 5 and 10.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"6-closed-interval\">Closed Interval<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">This type of interval includes the endpoints. For example, [4, 9] includes the endpoints 4 and 9.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"7-half-open-and-half-closed-interval\">Half-Open and Half-Closed Interval<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">This type of interval includes only one of the endpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example, (6, 16] includes 16 but does not include 6, whereas [6,16) includes 6 but does not include 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">This is what the different types of intervals look like on number lines:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/types-of-Intervals.png\" alt=\"Types of Intervals\" class=\"wp-image-41415\" title=\"Types of Intervals\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/types-of-Intervals.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/types-of-Intervals-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"8-time-interval\">Time Interval<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Let us learn what a time interval is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Suppose you are walking from your home to your school. You walk continually and reach school in 10 minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Now, while walking back home, you get tired and decide to sit for 2 minutes. You stop for 2 minutes and then start walking home again. So, we say you took a time interval of 2 minutes while walking back home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/time\/time\">time<\/a> interval can be defined as the time between two events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We can show time intervals on a timeline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"313\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/time-intervals-on-a-timeline.png\" alt=\"Time intervals on a timeline\" class=\"wp-image-41416\" title=\"Time intervals on a timeline\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/time-intervals-on-a-timeline.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/time-intervals-on-a-timeline-300x151.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, the timeline shows intervals of 1 hour. We can find the time between events using intervals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example, Sam started playing soccer at 4:30 p.m. He finished the game at 6:00 p.m. For how long did he play?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We can draw a timeline as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"323\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/timeline-from-4-pm-to-6-pm.png\" alt=\"Timeline from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M.\" class=\"wp-image-41417\" title=\"Timeline from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/timeline-from-4-pm-to-6-pm.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/timeline-from-4-pm-to-6-pm-300x156.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The interval from 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. is half an hour. Then, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. is an hour. So, that makes it an hour and a half. Sam played soccer for one and a half hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"9-fun-facts\">Fun Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">&nbsp;The word interval is derived from Latin \u201cInter\u201d meaning \u201cbetween\u201d and \u201cvallum\u201d meaning \u201cspace between ramparts\u201d, i.e., the space between protective walls of a castle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"10-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 1. What is the interval between 2 p.m. and 6:45 p.m.?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution<\/strong>: Let&#8217;s subtract the time values:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">6:45 &#8211; 2:00 = 4:45<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Thus, there are 4 hours and 45 minutes between 2 p.m. and 6:45 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So the interval will be 4 hours and 45 minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 2.

Give an interval that will represent this information.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution<\/strong>. The permitted ages are between age 12 to age 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, the interval is [12, 17].&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 3: To pass a math exam, students need to score above 65 marks out of a total of 100.
