Question

Choose the number line that correctly compares 24 and 4.256

Answer 1

c sqrt24 is 4.8989 so it’s placed there

Answer 2

A number line shows the comparison between numbers, at a regular interval.

The correct number line that compares $\sqrt{24$ and $4.256$ is (c)

The numbers are given as:

$n_1 = \sqrt{24}$

$n_2 = 4.256$

So, we have:

$n_1 = \sqrt{24}$

Take square roots

$n_1 = 4.899$

4.899 is greater than 4.256 i.e. $n_1 > n_2$

So, we have:

$\sqrt{24} > 4.256$

Number lines increases in value towards the right. This means that:

• $\sqrt{24}$ will be at the right-hand side of 4.256
• $\sqrt{24$ will be between 4.8 and 4.9

Hence, the correct number line is: (c)
