OpenStudy (valpey):

Perfect squares near 53 are 49 and 64. Where does 53 land between them?

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

7 and 8

can some one just please help

OpenStudy (valpey):

Do you have a text that describes what they mean by "the ratio of perfect squares method"? When I manually calculate square roots, I like to take the average of the nearest square and my number divided by the nearest square.

OpenStudy (valpey):

Another method I could imagine working is because 53 is 4/15 of the way between 49 and 64, then the square root of 53 is about 4/15 of the way from 7 to 8.
