Question

Help!! algebra!!
Which number lies between 5 and 6 on the number line?

Answer 1

Answer: 2.333333 ..., the first answer shown

Explanation:

The graphic asks which numbers lie between the square roots of 5 and 6, so I will answer that, since I believe that was your intention.

`√(5)` ≈ 2.236 and

`√(6)` ≈ 2.450, so any correct answer must be between these two numbers.

2.33333... lies between the two square roots, so it is a valid answer.

π ≈ 3.1416, so it is too big to lie between the square roots.

5/2 = 2.5, so it is also too big to lie between the square roots.

2.1 is less than 2.236, so it is too small to lie between the square roots.

The first answer, 2.3333 .... is the only valid answer.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

2.3

Explanation:

The square root of 5 is 2.236

The square root of 6 is 2.449

You can eliminate the second one, pi, which is 3.14 because it is over the square root of 6.

You can eliminate the third one, 5/2, which is 2.5 because it is over the square root of 6.

You can eliminate 2.1 because it is under the square root of 5.

The answer is 2.3 with the repeating line over the 3.
