To find the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that 58 − √2 is between, we need to determine which two consecutive half-number values the number lies between on a number line.

The square root of 2 is approximately 1.4, so 58 − √2 is approximately 58 - 1.4 = 56.6.

The half-number value before 56.6 is 56.5 (since it is the nearest half below 56.6), and the half-number value after 56.6 is 57 (since it is the nearest half above 56.6).

Therefore, 58 − √2 is between 56.5 and 57.

The answer is c) 7.5 and 8.

Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's re-evaluate the answer.

To find the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that 58 − √2 is between, we need to determine which two consecutive half-number values the number lies between on a number line.

Since the square root of 2 is approximately 1.4, we know that 58 − √2 is going to be slightly less than 58 - 1.4.

58 - 1.4 = 56.6

So, 58 − √2 is approximately 56.6.

The half-number value before 56.6 is 56.5 (since it is the nearest half below 56.6), and the half-number value after 56.6 is 57 (since it is the nearest half above 56.6).

Therefore, 58 − √2 is between 56.5 and 57.

The answer is a) 56.5 and 57.

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's calculate the correct answer.

To find the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that 58 − √2 is between, we need to determine which two consecutive half-number values the number lies between on a number line.

First, let's find the value of √2. The square root of 2 is approximately 1.414. Thus, 58 − √2 is approximately 58 - 1.414 = 56.586.

The half-number value before 56.586 is 56.5 (since it is the nearest half below 56.586), and the half-number value after 56.586 is 57 (since it is the nearest half above 56.586).

Therefore, 58 − √2 is between 56.5 and 57.

The answer is c) 7.5 and 8.
