Question

Locate root 9.8 on number line

Answer 1

Answer: See attached

Step-by-step explanation:

    "Root 9.8" means the square root of 9.8, $\sqrt{9.8}$.

    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, $\sqrt{9}$, 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.
