Answer:

H = √7.

Explanation:

Determining the value of each tick:

  • We see that there is 1 tick between each whole number on the number line.
  • Since each tick has the same value, each tick is 0.25 units.

Determing H's position:

  • H is right beside the tick between 2 and 3, meaning the tick is 2.5 and that H is somewhere between 2.5 and 3.

Converting √7, 3/5, 5/3, and √2 to decimals:

It's helpful to convert each answer to a decimals:

√7 = 2.645751311

3/5 = 0.6

5/3 = 1.666666667

√2 = 1.414213562

Thus, H is √7.
