Hey there!
The answer to your question is B.) √156
Whole numbers are numbers greater than 0 that, when changed to a fraction in its simplest form, the denominator would be 1.
The square root of a number is a whole number that, when multiplied by itself, equals the original number. Example: √4 = 2, because 2 x 2 = 4
So, we will find the square root of each of the following:
√144 = 12
√156 = 12.489996...
√169 = 13
√196 = 14
Therefore, √156 is not a whole number, because it cannot be simplified into a fraction over 1.
Have a great day!
