Which value lies between -√12 and -17/5 on the number line?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: -3.43

The governing concept is representation and comparison of real numbers on a number line, especially the order of negative numbers. Estimate the endpoints: √12 is approximately 3.4641, so −√12 is approximately −3.4641. Also, −17/5 = −3.4 exactly. Therefore a number between them must be greater than −3.4641 but less than −3.4. Option B, −3.43, satisfies −3.4641 < −3.43 < −3.4. Option A, −3.30, and option D, −3.20, are to the right of −3.4, while option C, −3.60, is to the left of −3.4641. The comparison may seem counterintuitive because a negative number closer to zero is larger.
