We can estimate the answer by thinking of which two whole numbers the square root of 42 is between. Since 6^2 = 36 and 7^2 = 49, we know that the square root of 42 is between 6 and 7.
To be more precise, we can use decimals:
42^0.5 = 6.48074069840786...
So, we know that the square root of 42 is greater than 6 and less than 7. Therefore, 42^0.5 lies between the consecutive whole numbers 6 and 7.
Answer:
Between 6 and 7.

A company ordered 328 pens with the company logo printed on them. The company returned 82 of the pens because the wrong logo was printed on them. What percent of the original order did the company keep?
To find the number of pens the company kept, we need to subtract the number of pens returned from the original order:
328 - 82 = 246
So the company kept 246 pens out of the original order of 328.
To find the percentage, we can use the formula:
percentage = (part/whole) x 100
In this case, the part is 246 (the number of pens the company kept) and the whole is 328 (the original order).
percentage = (246/328) x 100 = 75%
Therefore, the company kept 75% of the original order.
328 - 82 = 246
So the company kept 246 pens out of the original order of 328.
To find the percentage, we can use the formula:
percentage = (part/whole) x 100
In this case, the part is 246 (the number of pens the company kept) and the whole is 328 (the original order).
percentage = (246/328) x 100 = 75%
Therefore, the company kept 75% of the original order.
