On a number line, we can start by placing the whole number 40 and the rational number $\sqrt{40} \approx 6.3246$.
To find the nearest half, we want to locate a whole number and a rational number that are closest to $\sqrt{40}$.
The whole number closest to $\sqrt{40}$ is 6, and the rational number closest to $\sqrt{40}$ is $\frac{13}{2} = 6.5$.
Therefore, the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that is between $\sqrt{40}$ are 6 and $\frac{13}{2}$.
Using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is 40−−√ between?(1 point)
