Max said that the square root of 6.4 is 3.2. Lynda claimed that the square root of 6.4 is 0.8. Jamila estimated that the square root of 6.4 should be about 2.4.
What mistakes did the other two students make?
1 answer
Max and Lynda both made mistakes in their calculations of the square root of 6.4. The square root of 6.4 is actually about 2.53, so Max's answer of 3.2 is too high and Lynda's answer of 0.8 is too low. Jamila's estimate of 2.4 is closer to the actual square root of 6.4, but still not completely accurate.
