Using a number line, what whole
number and rational number to the
nearest half is √12 between?
To find the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that √12 is between, we first need to find the exact value of √12.
√12 is approximately equal to 3.4641016 (rounded to 7 decimal places).
On the number line, we can visualize this as:
0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5
Since √12 is approximately equal to 3.4641016, it lies between the numbers 3 and 4.
To find the nearest half, we can split the interval between 3 and 4 into halves:
3 - 3.5 - 4
Therefore, the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that √12 is between are 3 and 3.5.
