√40 is approximately equal to √36 = 6, which is a whole number. Therefore, the whole number that √40 is closest to is 6.
To find a rational number to the nearest half, we can look at the numbers between 6 and 7 on the number line. The midpoint between these two numbers is 6.5. Since √40 is closer to 6 than it is to 7, the rational number to the nearest half is 6.5.
Using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is √ 40 between
