Answer:

The irrational number could be √30

Explanation:

An irrational number is a number which can not be written as a ratio between two numbers and it can not be written as a simple fraction. In simple words we can not write it in p/q form.

Find an irrational number that is between 5.2 and 5.5.

Mostly irrational numbers are square root numbers.

So square the both numbers.

(5.2)^2 (5.5)^2.

27.04 , 30.25

It means that the number is between 27.04 and 30.25

We will pick number 30

Square root 30

√30 = 5.48

The irrational number could be √30

It is 5.48 to the hundredth....
