Put these numbers in order from least to greatest:

1) 8.60232526 (√74)
2) 1.9375 (-31/16)
3) 2.96249606
4) 9.8125 (9 13/16)

1 answer

To put the numbers in order from least to greatest, we can compare their numerical values directly.

  1. \( 8.60232526 \) (approximately \( \sqrt{74} \))
  2. \( 1.9375 \) (which is \( -31/16 \))
  3. \( 2.96249606 \)
  4. \( 9.8125 \) (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. \( 1.9375 \)
  2. \( 2.96249606 \)
  3. \( 8.60232526 \)
  4. \( 9.8125 \)
