To find the whole number and the rational number (to the nearest half) that \(\sqrt{10}\) is between, we first need to find the approximate value of \(\sqrt{10}\).

Calculating \(\sqrt{10}\):
\[
\sqrt{10} \approx 3.162
\]

Now, we need to determine the whole number that is the greatest integer less than or equal to \(\sqrt{10}\) and the smallest integer that is greater than \(\sqrt{10}\).

The whole numbers surrounding \(3.162\) are:
- The greatest whole number less than \(3.162\) is \(3\).
- The smallest whole number greater than \(3.162\) is \(4\).

Thus, \(\sqrt{10}\) is between \(3\) and \(4\).

Next, to find the nearest half rational number to \(\sqrt{10}\):
- The nearest half values are \(3.0\) (which is \(3\)), \(3.5\), and \(4.0\).
- Since \(3.162\) is closer to \(3.0\) than it is to \(3.5\), the nearest half rational number to \(\sqrt{10}\) is approximately \(3.0\).

Therefore, \(\sqrt{10}\) is between the whole number \(3\) and the rational number \(3.0\).

Final result:
\(\sqrt{10}\) is between **3** and **3.0**.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's clarify:

1. **Whole Number**: As we established, \(\sqrt{10} \approx 3.162\), which is between the whole numbers \(3\) and \(4\).

2. **Rational Number to the Nearest Half**: The rational numbers around \(3.162\) are:
- \(3.0\)
- \(3.5\)
- \(4.0\)

To find which one is closest to \(3.162\):
- \(3.0\) is \(0.162\) away from \(3.162\).
- \(3.5\) is \(0.338\) away from \(3.162\).
- \(4.0\) is \(0.838\) away from \(3.162\).

Thus, the nearest half (rational number) to \(3.162\) is indeed **3.0**. However, if you're looking for the nearest whole number to the nearest half that is greater than \(3.162\), it would be **3.5**.

So in summary, while \(\sqrt{10}\) is between \(3\) and \(4\), the nearest half (rational number) would be **3.5**.

Final confirmation:
\(\sqrt{10}\) is between **3** and **3.5**. Thank you for your patience!
