Question

Arrange the following numbers from LEAST to GREATEST:

a) 0.5
b) 7/2
c) √15 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
d) π (Pi)
e) √9
f) 1.9

Answer 1

To arrange the numbers from least to greatest, each number is converted to decimal form, if necessary, and then compared. The numbers in order from least to greatest are: 0.5, 1.9, π (3.14), √9 (3), √15 (3.87), 7/2 (3.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrange the given numbers from least to greatest, we first need to convert each to a decimal or a familiar form we can easily compare. The given numbers are:

0.5(already in decimal form)

1. 7/2, which equals 3.5 when converted to a decimal
2. √15, which is approximately 3.87 when rounded to the nearest hundredth
3. π (Pi), which is approximately 3.14 as a commonly used approximation
4. √9, which equals 3 since 3² = 9
5. 1.9 (already in decimal form)

Now, arranging the numbers from least to greatest:

0.5

1. 1.9
2. π (Pi) ≈ 3.14
3. √9 = 3
4. √15 ≈ 3.87
5. 7/2 = 3.5
