Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to this problem is found by taking the square roots of 5 and 10

Square root of 5 is 2.236

And square root of 10 is 3.162

Now we need to find a decimal number that is greater than the lower number of 2.236 and less than the greater number of 3.162

The decimal number satisfying the above conditions is 3

2.236 < 3 < 3.162

Answer 2

A terminating decimal number is 2.5
