Answer:

B.) 29.5

Explanation:

You can first eliminate A and D right away.

Then you will need to find the square root of B and C which is-

B- 5.431

C- 5.958

Now that you found the square root, you can see that B is Point Q because 5.431 is closer to the middle line of 5 and 6.

The number line has 5 and 6 marked. There is a line in the middle of 5 and 6 which would be 5.5.

Since Q is located between 5 and 5.5, the answer needs to be A) 5.4
