Question

List the values in desending order square root 170, 13.5, 64/5, 13 7/8

Answer 1

Consider the given set of values,

`\sqrt[]{170},13.5,(64)/(5),13(7)/(8)`

First of all, we need to convert each value into decimal form,

`\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{170}\approx13.0384 \\ 13.5 \\ (64)/(5)\approx12.8 \\ 13(7)/(8)=((13\cdot8)+7)/(8)=(111)/(8)\approx13.875 \end{gathered}`

So the set of values in decimal form are,

`13.0384,13.5,12.8,13.875`

It is known that,

`13.875>13.5>13.0384>12.8`
