see 9<13<16 taking square root we have 3<sq. root(13)<4 so sq. root(13) lies between 3 and 4. now from the number line, you tell me which option is correct.@geny55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it option c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct.@geny55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay! i have one more :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi... @geny55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If any two rational numbers a and b are given, we can find a rational number between them by the formula (a+b)/2 Here the numbers are 7.7 and 7.9 , which are rational. So how can you get a rational number between them? .@geny55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm, i dont know sorry :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you read again what i posted....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm The rational number is given by (7.7+7.9)/2=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question says Find a rational number and an irrational number that are between 7.7 and 7.9. Include the decimal approximation of the irrational number to the nearest hundredth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah i read it... the rational number is 7.8 and the irrational number is 7.70100100001000001...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok and now lets do the second part . it says Include the decimal approximation of the irrational number to the nearest hundredth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u do the second part already?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it did the general answer but we need to find the answer of the question which you posted.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so lets do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets do it really quick! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the number must be in between 7 and 8 as well. 7^2=49 and 8^2=64. see square root(60) is irrational and 60 is in between 49 and 64 as well and moreover square root of 60 lies between 7.7 and 7.9. So the required answer is 7.74. which is the approximation of square root 60 to the nearest hundredth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@geny55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats the whole answer with everything put together :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7.74

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write square root of 60 is an irrational number in between 7.7 and 7.9 and its approximation to the nearest hundredth is 7.74
