Question

examine the number line. the space between each point is approximately 14 unit. if r=8 and s=8.5 , then determine the best whole number square root that m represents. (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the value of m, we first need to determine the distance between the points r and s on the number line.

r = 8
s = 8.5

The difference between s and r is:
8.5 - 8 = 0.5

Since the space between each point on the number line is approximately 14 units, we can calculate the value of m using the formula:

m = r + (0.5/14)

m = 8 + (0.5/14)
m = 8 + 0.0357
m = 8.0357

Therefore, the best whole number square root that m represents is 8.
