To determine the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that 40−−√ is between, we need to find the two consecutive whole numbers on the number line surrounding 40−−√.
First, let's find the whole number to the left of 40−−√. We know that the square root of 40 is approximately 6.32. So, 40−−√ is a little more than 6. Therefore, the whole number to the left of 40−−√ is 6.
Next, let's find the whole number to the right of 40−−√. Since 40−−√ is less than 7 but greater than 6, the whole number to the right of 40−−√ is 7.
Finally, to find the rational number to the nearest half between 6 and 7, we average the two whole numbers. The average of 6 and 7 is 6.5.
Therefore, 40−−√ is between the whole number 6 and the rational number 6.5.
Using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is 40−−√ between?40−−√ is between (blank) & (blank).
