Answer:

see below

Explanation:

This question is easily answered using your calculator. You can also do some estimation.

√26 is a little more than 5, so 2/3 of 5 is 10/3 ≈ 3.3. A little more is 3.4.

__

3√5 is about 3 times 2.23 or 6.69. The value 6.71 is real close.

__

1.75π is about 7/4 × 22/7 = 22/4 = 5.5

__

√111 is √(100·(1 +0.11)) ≈ 10·(1 +0.11/2) ≈ 10.55. Half that is about 5.275, close to 5.27.

(With some experience, you learn that the percentage change in a root is about half the percentage change in the value being rooted. Here an 11% increase in the value being rooted results in approximately a 5.5% increase in the root. The smaller the percentage, the better this approximation is.)
