To find the value of \( \sqrt{68} \) and determine between which whole number and rational number (to the nearest half) it lies, let's start by calculating \( \sqrt{68} \).

1. **Estimate \( \sqrt{68} \)**:
- We know that \( 8^2 = 64 \) and \( 9^2 = 81 \).
- Thus, \( \sqrt{68} \) is between \( 8 \) and \( 9 \).

2. **Get a more precise estimate**:
- Let's calculate \( 8.5^2 \):
\[
8.5^2 = 72.25 \quad (\text{which is greater than } 68)
\]
- Next, calculate \( 8.2^2 \) and \( 8.3^2 \):
\[
8.2^2 = 67.24 \quad (\text{which is less than } 68)
\]
\[
8.3^2 = 68.89 \quad (\text{which is greater than } 68)
\]
- Therefore, \( \sqrt{68} \) is between \( 8.2 \) and \( 8.3 \).

3. **Calculating for half-way marks**:
- The mid-point between \( 8 \) and \( 8.5 \) is \( 8.25 \), and the mid-point between \( 8.5 \) and \( 9 \) is \( 8.75 \).
- Since \( \sqrt{68} \approx 8.246 \) (from our earlier estimates), it is less than \( 8.25 \).

4. **Conclusion**:
- Since \( \sqrt{68} \) is between \( 8.2 \) and \( 8.3 \), we conclude that it is between \( 8 \) and \( 8.5 \).

Therefore, \( \sqrt{68} \) is between **8 and 8.5**.

Sure! Here’s the math in a copy-and-paste-friendly format:

1. **Estimate**:
- \( 8^2 = 64 \)
- \( 9^2 = 81 \)
- Thus, \( \sqrt{68} \) is between \( 8 \) and \( 9 \).

2. **Calculate \( 8.5^2 \)**:
\[
8.5^2 = 72.25 \quad (\text{greater than } 68)
\]

3. **Calculate \( 8.2^2 \) and \( 8.3^2 \)**:
\[
8.2^2 = 67.24 \quad (\text{less than } 68)
\]
\[
8.3^2 = 68.89 \quad (\text{greater than } 68)
\]

4. **Determine the range**:
- \( \sqrt{68} \) is between \( 8.2 \) and \( 8.3 \).

5. **Halfway points**:
- Mid-point between \( 8 \) and \( 8.5 \) is \( 8.25 \).
- Mid-point between \( 8.5 \) and \( 9 \) is \( 8.75 \).
- Since \( \sqrt{68} \approx 8.246 \) (which is less than \( 8.25 \)):

**Conclusion**:
- \( \sqrt{68} \) is between \( 8 \) and \( 8.5 \).

I apologize for the confusion. Here is the mathematics presented in plain text format so you can easily copy and paste the numbers:

1. Estimate:
- 8^2 = 64
- 9^2 = 81
- Thus, √68 is between 8 and 9.

2. Calculate:
- 8.5^2 = 72.25 (greater than 68)

3. Calculate:
- 8.2^2 = 67.24 (less than 68)
- 8.3^2 = 68.89 (greater than 68)

4. Determine the range:
- √68 is between 8.2 and 8.3.

5. Halfway points:
- Mid-point between 8 and 8.5 is 8.25.
- Mid-point between 8.5 and 9 is 8.75.
- Since √68 ≈ 8.246 (which is less than 8.25):

Conclusion:
- √68 is between 8 and 8.5.
