The whole number closest to √68 is 8, since √68 is between √64 (which is 8) and √81 (which is 9).
To find the rational number closest to √68 to the nearest half, we can look at the halves between 8 and 9.
The halves between 8 and 9 are 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0.
Since √68 is closer to 8.5 than to 8 or 9, the rational number closest to √68 to the nearest half is 8.5.
Using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is 68−−√
