Whole numbers are the natural numbers and zero: 0, 1, 2, 3, …
Integers are whole numbers and their opposites: –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …
Rational numbers can be expressed in the form ,
where a and b are both integers and b ≠ 0: , ,

6. Vocabulary (continued)
Terminating decimals are rational numbers in decimal form that have a finite number of digits: 1.5, 2.75, 4.0
Repeating decimals are rational numbers in decimal form that have a block of one or more digits that repeat continuously: 1.3, 0.6, 2.14
Irrational numbers cannot be expressed in the form They include square roots of whole numbers that are not perfect squares and nonterminating decimals that do not repeat:
, , 

8. Estimating Real Numbers
The square roots of many numbers like , are not whole numbers. A calculator can approximate the value of as Without a calculator, you can use square roots of perfect squares to help estimate the square roots of other numbers.

9. Estimating Square Roots of Numbers
Each square root is between two integers. Name the integers. Explain your answer.
Think: What are perfect squares close to 55? 55
72 = 49
49 < 55
82 = 64
64 > 55
55 is between 7 and 8 because 55 is between 49 and 64.

10. Estimating Square Roots of Numbers
Each square root is between two integers. Name the integers. Explain your answer.
Think: What are perfect squares close to 90? – 90
–92 = 81
81 < 90
–102 = 100
100 > 90
is between –9 and –10 because 90 is between 81 and 100. 90 –

11. TRY THIS!
Each square root is between two integers. Name the integers. Explain your answer.
Think: What are perfect squares close to 80? 80
82 = 64
64 < 80
92 = 81
81 > 80
80 is between 8 and 9 because 80 is between 64 and 81.

12. Problem-Solving Application
As part of her art project, Shonda will need to make a square covered in glitter. Her tube of glitter covers 13 square inches. What is the greatest side length
Shonda’s square can have?
Understand the problem 1
The answer will be the side length of the square.
List the important information:
• The tube of glitter can cover an area of 13 square inches.

13. Continued 13. Make a Plan The side length of the square is because =2
Make a Plan
The side length of the square is because
13.
Because 13 is not a perfect
square, is not a whole number. Estimate
to the nearest tenth. = 
Find the two whole numbers that is between. Because 13 is between the perfect squares 9 and is between and , or between 3 and 4.

14. Estimating Real Numbers
Because 13 is closer to 16 than to 9, is closer to 4 than to 3. 3 4
You can use a guess-and-check method to estimate

15. Estimating Real Numbers
Solve 3
Guess 3.6: = too low
is greater than 3.6.
Guess 3.7: = too high
is less than 3.7. 3
3.6
3.7 4
Because 13 is closer to than to 13.69, is closer to 3.6 than to 3.7.
 3.6

16. A square with a side length of 3.6 inches
Continued
Look Back 4
A square with a side length of 3.6 inches
would have an area of square inches.
Because is close to 13, 3.6 inches
is a reasonable estimate.

17. Try This!
What if…? Nancy decides to buy more wildflower seeds and now has enough to cover 38 ft2. What is the side length of a square garden with an area of 38 ft2 to the nearest tenth?
Use a guess and check method to estimate
Guess = too low
is greater than 6.1.
Guess = too high
is less than 6.2.
A square garden with a side length of 6.2 ft would have an area of ft ft is close to 38, so 6.2 is a reasonable answer.
