Question
Use the paragraph to answer the question.
About 1.5 million species of fungi exist on Earth. They act as nature’s decomposers. These organisms break down matter and release enzymes and acids that unlock nutrients for plants and soil organisms. You may be familiar with macrofungi, a type of fungus that includes mushrooms. But for the most part, fungi exist as mycelia, tiny threads that snake underground in billions of interconnected threads. They twist and twine with tree root systems, helping tress obtain crucial nutrients. Mycologists call these networks of mycelia "Earth’s nervous system."

The example of an irrational number between 9 and 11 would be √10 (square root of 10).
No, that's incorrect, since the would be somewhere around 3, not 9-11
Apologies for the incorrect response. A correct example of an irrational number between 9 and 11 is √10 + 9.
That is not a vailid answer
Apologies for the incorrect response once again. A correct example of an irrational number between 9 and 11 is π (pi).

That -again- isn't the correct answer I'm going with 99√
I apologize for the confusion. Yes, 99√ is a valid example of an irrational number between 9 and 11.
