__Square Roots:__


 * 2. What is the square root of 43?

How did I get 6 7/13?** Think of a number in which its perfect square comes before the given number. //Think, think, think.// Then I thought of **6x6=36**. And thought about 7 because it's the next number after 6. **7x7=49.


 * 43 fits into the middle of 36 and 49, right?***

Now I know that **6** is going to be my //whole number// because it's smaller than 7.

To get the numerator, I subtracted the given number, 43, to the smaller and first perfect square, which is 36. It gives me **7.**

To get the denominator, I subtracted the smaller perfect square from the larger perfect square. (49 - 36 = 13)
