Question

The values √8 and √14 are plotted on the number line.

Answer 1

Firstly, you have to count the number of spaces between the two points on the line, which gives you 9. Now, remember that you are counting between tenths on a number line, so you divide 9 by 10 to give you your answer, 0.9.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The values √8 and √14 are plotted on the number line.  

From the given number line it is clear that

$\sqrt{8}\approx 2.8$

$\sqrt{14}\approx 3.7$

We have to find the approximate difference in tenths between the two values √8 and √14.

$\sqrt{14}-\sqrt{8}\approx 3.7-2.8$

$\sqrt{14}-\sqrt{8}\approx 0.9$

The approximate difference in tenths between the two values is 0.9.

Therefore the correct option is 2.
