Question

What is the order of square root 5, 0.6, 4/9, 0.7, square root 2 from least to greatest?

a) 0.6, 0.7, 4/9, √2, √5

b) 4/9, 0.6, 0.7, √2, √5

c) 0.6, 4/9, 0.7, √2, √5

d) 4/9, 0.6, 0.7, √5, √2

Answer 1

The correct order from least to greatest is 4/9, 0.6, 0.7, square root of 2, and square root of 5, which can be represented as option b) in the original question.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the order of the given numbers from least to greatest, we first convert all of them to decimal form or estimate their decimal values. The numbers given are: square root of 5 (approximately 2.24), 0.6, 4/9 (which is approximately 0.44), 0.7, and square root of 2 (approximately 1.41).

Now we arrange these decimal values in ascending order:

1. 
   
3. 4/9 (~0.44)
4. 
   
6. 0.6
7. 
   
9. 0.7
10. 
    
12. √2 (~1.41)
13. 
    
15. √5 (~2.24)

Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest is:b) 4/9, 0.6, 0.7, √2, √5
