Question

What whole number best approximates the value of x?

Answer 1

The answer is 87

For this problem, the method I used was more of a guess and check because I simply plugged the options into a calculator to see which one would be closest a little bit past 9.3 but not all the way 9.4

the square root of 87 is 9.32 so you would round down while the square root of 88 is 9.38 which would round up

Hope this helps :)
