Using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is 40−−√ between?(1 point)
40−−√ is between
and
39 and 41
To find the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that 40−−√ is between, we can use a number line.
First, let's find the whole number. We can see that the square root of 40 is between the whole numbers 6 and 7 since 6^2 = 36 and 7^2 = 49. So the whole number that 40−−√ is between is 6.
Next, let's find the rational number to the nearest half. We can see that the number halfway between 6 and 7 is 6.5. So the rational number to the nearest half that 40−−√ is between is 6.5.
Therefore, 40−−√ is between the whole number 6 and the rational number 6.5 when represented on a number line.
