[7TH GRADE MATH] Can someone please explain how to round a square root to the tenth place without using a calculator. (I WILL BE GIVING BRAINLIEST)

Step-by-step explanation: To find a decimal approximation to, say √2, first make an initial guess, then square the guess, and depending how close you got, improve your guess. Since this method involves squaring the guess (multiplying the number times itself), it uses the actual definition of square root, and so can be very helpful in teaching the concept of square root.

Example: what is square root of 20?

You can start out by noting that since √16 = 4 and √25 = 5, then √20 must be between 4 and 5.

Then make a guess for √20; let's say for example that it is 4.5. Square that, see if the result is over or under 20, and improve your guess based on that. Repeat this process until you have the desired accuracy (amount of decimals). It's that simple and can be a nice experiment for students!

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
