Math Problem Statement

Between which two numbers does √11 lie on a number line?

Solution

To find where 11\sqrt{11} lies on the number line, we need to approximate its value.

113.3166\sqrt{11} \approx 3.3166

Now let's compare this with the given options:

  • Option A: 3 and 411\sqrt{11} is approximately 3.3166, which lies between 3 and 4.
  • Option B: 5 and 6 — This is incorrect, as 3.3166 is not between 5 and 6.
  • Option C: 10 and 11 — Incorrect, since 3.3166 is far less than 10.
  • Option D: 4 and 5 — Incorrect, as 11\sqrt{11} is less than 4.

The correct answer is A: 3 and 4.
