Using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is 40−−√ between?(1 point) 40−−√ is between and
To find which whole number and rational number to the nearest half 40−−√ is between, we can visualize it on a number line.
Let's start by finding the whole number it's closest to. We can see that 40−−√ is closer to 6 than it is to 7. Therefore, the whole number it's closest to is 6.
Next, we need to find the rational number (number in decimal form) closest to 40−−√ to the nearest half. To do this, we can convert 40−−√ to a decimal. The approximate value of 40−−√ is 6.32.
Now, looking at the number line, we can see that 6.32 is closest to 6.5 as it's slightly greater than 6.5 but smaller than 7. Therefore, the rational number to the nearest half that 40−−√ is between is 6.5.
So, 40−−√ is between the whole number 6 and the rational number 6.5 to the nearest half.
