Question

Locate root 9.8 on number line

Answer 1

Answer: See attached

Explanation:

"Root 9.8" means the square root of 9.8,
`√(9.8)`.

Since we are being asked to find it on the number line, I am guessing they want us to estimate. We know that the square root of 9,
`√(9)`, is equal to 3. Since 9.8 is slightly bigger than 9, the square root of 9.8 will be a little bit over 3.

Want to confirm? Using a calculator for the square root of 9.8 gives us 3.13.
