the correct number line is the third one (the oe you already marked as the correct answer).
Which number correctly compares √24 and 4.256?
First, let's try to estimate the square root of 24.
We know that 5*5 = 25
Which means that √25 = 5, then √24 ≈ 5
Also note that 4*4 = 16, then √16 = 4
Clearly, we can see that √24 will be closer to 5 than to 4, then:
√24 > 4.256
This means that the square root of 24 should be at the right of 4.256.
Now, getting the exact value:
√24 = 4.9
Then we conclude that the correct number line is the third one (the oe you already marked as the correct answer).
