The platypus is an Australian mammal that does not fall neatly into a classification. It is one of only two mammals (the other being the echidna) that bear young by laying eggs. In some respects, the platypus resembles a duck; both have webbed feet and bills. The platypus has a tail like a beaver’s and a furry body similar to an otter’s. Its unusual hybrid of body parts makes it well-suited for its largely aquatic life. The platypus uses its webbed feet to paddle through water, and its tail serves as a kind of rudder for steering. While underwater, the platypus uses its bill to scoop up bits of food, such as insects and shellfish, from the water’s bottom. The platypus also scoops up bits of gravel, which grind up the food, as the platypus is toothless. The platypus stores the food and gravel in its cheeks until it reaches the water’s surface. Once the platypus surfaces, it consumes its meal.

Use the paragraph to answer the question.
While the invention of the steamboat is often attributed to American inventor Robert Fulton, credit should really go to John Fitch. Fitch built four steamboats in the late eighteenth century. These boats traveled successfully on lakes and rivers and proved that steam could be used to propel boats. Fitch’s boats included more traditional elements as well, such as paddle wheels and screw propellers. By blending tried and true methods of propulsion with new technology, Fitch created functioning steamboats. He forfeited his place in American memory due not to any mechanical failings, but to financial ones. His production and operating costs were too high to make steam travel economically feasible. As a result, many people have forgotten his role in the invention of the steamboat. It wasn’t until after his death that Robert Fulton created a commercially successful steamboat and became known as “the father of steam navigation.”

Using a number line, what is the approximate number value of 103−−−√? Provide your answer in decimal form, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
The approximate number value of √103 can be found by using a calculator. Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the result is approximately 10.15.
Using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is 10−−√ between?(1 point)
To determine the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that 10−√ is between, we can use a number line.
When squared, 10 becomes 100. The square root of 100 is 10. Therefore, 10−√ falls between 10 and 11 on the number line.
To find the rational number to the nearest half, we can consider the midpoint between 10 and 11, which is 10.5. Therefore, 10−√ is between 10 and 10.5.
please recheck the answer
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recheck the answer.
Given that 10−√ is between 10 and 11 on the number line, we can further narrow it down to the nearest half.
To find the rational number to the nearest half, we can consider the midpoint between 10 and 11, which is 10.5. Therefore, 10−√ is between 10 and 10.5 on the number line.
So, to the nearest half, 10−√ is between 10 and 10.5.
Using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is 97−−√ between?(1 point)
To determine the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that 97−√ is between, we can use a number line.
When squared, 97 becomes 9409. The square root of 9409 is approximately 97. Therefore, 97−√ falls between 97 and 98 on the number line.
To find the rational number to the nearest half, we can consider the midpoint between 97 and 98, which is 97.5. Therefore, 97−√ is between 97 and 97.5.
So, to the nearest half, 97−√ is between 97 and 97.5 on the number line.
Using rational approximations, what is an inequality statement comparing 21−−√ and 17−−√? Enter <, >, or =.(1 point)
To compare the values of 21−√ and 17−√ using rational approximations, we can simplify each expression to their nearest whole numbers.
For 21−√, the nearest whole number is 4 since (√21 ≈ 4.58).
For 17−√, the nearest whole number is 1 since (√17 ≈ 4.12).
Therefore, we have the inequality 21−√ > 17−√, indicating that 21−√ is greater than 17−√.
Using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is 10−−√ between?(1 point)
10−−√ is between
Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's reconsider the question.
To find the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that 10−√ is between, we can use a number line.
When squared, 10 becomes 100. The square root of 100 is 10. Therefore, 10−√ falls between 10 and 11 on the number line.
To find the rational number to the nearest half, we can consider the midpoint between 10 and 11, which is 10.5. Therefore, 10−√ is between 10 and 10.5 on the number line.
So, to the nearest half, 10−√ is between 10 and 10.5 on the number line.
Using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is 10−−√ between?
To find the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that 10−√ is between, we can utilize a number line.
When we simplify, we find that √10 is approximately 3.16. Hence, 10−√ falls between 10 and 11 on the number line.
To identify the whole number and rational number to the nearest half, we consider the midpoint between 10 and 11, which is 10.5. Thus, 10−√ is between 10 and 10.5 on the number line.
To summarize, to the nearest half, 10−√ is between 10 and 10.5 on the number line.
rational number to the nearest half is 10−−√ between?(1 point)
10−−√ is between
and
.
To find the rational number to the nearest half that 10−√ is between, we can use decimal approximations.
Given that (√10 ≈ 3.16), the value of 10−√ is between two whole numbers and is less than 1 unit away from the whole number 3.
To determine the nearest half, we can take the midpoint between 3 and the next whole number, which is 3.5. Therefore, 10−√ is between 3 and 3.5 on the number line.
So, to the nearest half, 10−√ is between 3 and 3.5 on the number line.
Using a number line, what whole number is 97−−√ between?(1 point)
To find the whole number that 97−√ is between, we can utilize a number line.
When we simplify, we find that √97 is approximately 9.85. Hence, 97−√ falls between 97 and 98 on the number line.
To identify the whole number, we can take the whole number closest to the decimal approximation of √97. Therefore, 97−√ is between the whole numbers 9 and 10 on the number line.
In conclusion, 97−√ is between the whole numbers 9 and 10 on the number line.

Write 925 in expanded form.(1 point)
To write 925 in expanded form, we can break down the number according to its place values.
925 can be expanded as:
9 x 100 + 2 x 10 + 5 x 1
This represents 900 + 20 + 5 in expanded form.
Therefore, in expanded form, 925 is equal to 900 + 20 + 5.
