Answer:

√7, 2.8, π, √17, 4.6

Explanation:

You want to know the order of 4.6, 2.8, π, √17, √7 from least to greatest.

Ordering

It is easier to put numbers in order if you have the m in a form that lets them be compared easily. Here, we can round the values to 1 decimal place to have sufficient accuracy for a proper comparison:

  • 4.6 = 4.6
  • 2.8 = 2.8
  • π ≈ 3.1
  • √17 ≈ 4.1
  • √7 ≈ 2.6

The order of the approximations is 2.6, 2.8, 3.1, 4.1, 4.6, so the order of the original values is ...

√7, 2.8, π, √17, 4.6
