To put the numbers in order from least to greatest, we can compare their numerical values directly.
- \( 8.60232526 \) (approximately \( \sqrt{74} \))
- \( 1.9375 \) (which is \( -31/16 \))
- \( 2.96249606 \)
- \( 9.8125 \) (which is \( 9 \frac{13}{16} \))
Now let's put them in order:
- First, \( 1.9375 \) is the smallest.
- Next, \( 2.96249606 \) is greater than \( 1.9375 \).
- Then, \( 8.60232526 \) (or \( \sqrt{74} \)) comes next.
- Finally, \( 9.8125 \) is the greatest.
So, in order from least to greatest, the numbers are:
- \( 1.9375 \)
- \( 2.96249606 \)
- \( 8.60232526 \)
- \( 9.8125 \)
