What mathematical symbol can you put between 1 and 2 to make a number greater than 1 but less than 2?
the square root symbol. that would make it 1,/2 (i don't know how to make a square root symbol, sorry) but since the numbers are next to each other it is assumed that they are being multiplied and the square root of 2 is approximately 1.414 right in between 1 and 2 :)
