Using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is 20−−√
between?
The whole number that is closest to 20−−√ is 4.
To determine the rational number that is closest to 20−−√, we can use a number line.
We start by plotting the whole numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on, until we reach a number greater than 20−−√.
The square root of 20 is approximately 4.47, which means 20−−√ is slightly less than 4.5.
Therefore, the rational number to the nearest half that is closest to 20−−√ is 4.5.
So, the whole number and rational number to the nearest half between 20−−√ are 4 and 4.5, respectively.
To find the closest whole number and rational number to √20 to the nearest half, we can start by locating √20 on a number line.
The square root of 20 is approximately 4.47. On a number line, this would fall between 4 and 5.
Now, let's find the closest rational number to √20 to the nearest half. The nearest half between 4 and 5 is 4.5.
Therefore, the whole number closest to √20 is 4, and the rational number closest to √20 to the nearest half is 4.5.
