Question

using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is 40 between?

40 is between __ and __

Answer 1

On a number line, the whole number and rational numbers to the nearest half that 40 is between can be determined as follows:

- The next whole number below 40 is 39.
- The whole number above 40 is 41.

To find the nearest half, we look at the values:

- The half immediately below 40 is 39.5.
- The half immediately above 40 is 40.5.

So, 40 is between:

**39 and 41.**

And in terms of halves, it is between:

**39.5 and 40.5.**
