Which of the following values is greater than \(\frac{9}{4}\) and less than \(\sqrt{6}\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 2.4
\(\frac{9}{4}=2.25\) and \(\sqrt{6}\approx 2.449\). Thus, 2.4 lies between 2.25 and 2.449. Option B, 2.2, is less than \(\frac{9}{4}\), while 2.5 and 3.0 are greater than \(\sqrt{6}\). Exam tip: Convert the fraction and square root to suitable decimal approximations before comparing them.
