Question

A math student compared the values of 17 and 60 on a number line. Which statement about the two values is true? Select one: A. The values of 17 and 60 are the same. B. The value of 17 is about 8, and the value of 60 is about 30. C. The values of both 17 and 60 are between the same two integers on a number line. D. The value of 17 is less than 5, and the value of 60 is greater than 7.

Answer 1

Given the two numbers, let us simplify to find the value;

`\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{17}=4.12 \\ \sqrt[]{60}=7.75 \end{gathered}`

From the derived value, we can find which of the statements is true.

From the options, we can see that the only option that is entirely true is;

- The value of root 17 is less than 5, and the value of root 60 is greater than 7.

`\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{17}=4.12<5 \\ \sqrt[]{60}=7.75>7 \end{gathered}`
