Answer 1

To find the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that is between $30$ and $\sqrt{30},$ we can approximate the value as follows:

$\sqrt{30} \approx 5.5.$

Since $5$ is the whole number closest to $5.5,$ and $5$ can also be expressed as $\frac{10}{2},$ the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that is between $30$ and $\sqrt{30}$ is $\boxed{5}.$
