Answer:

The order in ascending order is: Plant D; Plant B; Plant C; Plant A

Explanation:

Given

$Plant\ A = √(35)\ in$

$Plant\ B = 5.3\ in$

$Plant\ C = 5(1)/(2)\ in$

$Plant\ D = 5(1)/(5)\ in$

Required

Arrange the plants in ascending order

First, express the heights of all the plants in decimal

$Plant\ A = √(35)\ in$

$Plant\ A = 5.9160797831\ in$

$Plant\ A = 5.92\ in$ (Approximated)

$Plant\ B = 5.3\ in$

$Plant\ C = 5(1)/(2)\ in$

Convert to mixed numbers

$Plant\ C = (11)/(2)\ in$

$Plant\ C = 5.5\ in$

$Plant\ D = 5(1)/(5)\ in$

Convert to mixed numbers

$Plant\ D = (26)/(5)\ in$

$Plant\ D = 5.2\ in$

Now, the plants can be arranged in ascending order;

$Plant\ D = 5.2\ in$
$Plant\ B = 5.3\ in$
$Plant\ C = 5.5\ in$
$Plant\ A = 5.92\ in$
