1.3 (Day 2) Compare and Order Rational and Irrational Numbers WS 24-25.pdf

156.00 KB

Solution

It looks like the document is a worksheet on comparing and ordering rational and irrational numbers. Here's a summary of the questions:

  1. Estimating √48 – Find which integers it falls between and identify the closest integer.
  2. Comparing numbers – Compare √3 and 2.6.
  3. Ordering numbers – Arrange several numbers (e.g., 1, -4, √5, 4.8, etc.) from least to greatest.
  4. Height of a painting – √39 ft: a) Find which two whole numbers √39 falls between and identify the closest integer. b) Approximate √39 by squaring decimals between those integers.
  5. Ordering clay pots by height – Arrange the heights of 6 pots (given in decimals and square roots) from shortest to tallest.

Would you like me to solve these problems for you? Let me know which one you'd like to start with or if you'd prefer all of them.

Five related questions to deepen understanding:

  1. How do you estimate the square root of a number without a calculator?
  2. What are rational and irrational numbers, and how do they differ?
  3. Why is it important to know which integers a square root falls between?
  4. How do you compare square roots with decimals efficiently?
  5. What are some other ways to approximate irrational numbers?

Tip:

When comparing irrational numbers, it's helpful to first approximate their decimal values, which makes comparison easier.
