Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's figure out what two consecutive integers is 14 between.

We also need to do this for 3.

14 is between 9 and 16 which means [tex]\sqrt{14}[/tex] is between [tex]\sqrt{9}[/tex] and [tex]\sqrt{16}[/tex].

3 is between 1 and 4 which means [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] is between [tex]\sqrt{1}[/tex] and [tex]\sqrt{4}[/tex].

So 14 is closer to 16 which means [tex]\sqrt{14}[/tex] is closer to 4.  Let's say [tex]\sqrt{14}\approx 3.7[/tex]

So 3 is closer to 4 which means [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] is closer to 2. Let's say [tex]\sqrt{3}\approx 1.8[/tex].

So now we do 3.7+1.8=5.5.

The answer that is closet to this is 5.47.

Now if we put [tex]\sqrt{14}+\sqrt{3}[/tex] in our calculator we get:

3.74+1.73=5.47
