Question

Determine how many whole numbers have square roots between 5 and 6. Show your work.

Answer 1

Explanation:

We are looking for possible values of n in

5 < √n < 6, where n is a whole number.

(5)² < (√n)² < (6)² is allowed as all are positive.

25 < n < 36

Therefore there are 36 - 25 - 1 = 10 values for n.
