order rational and irrational numbers from least to greatest. 11/3, pi, 3.245, square root 16, square root 8.

Answer 1

To order the given numbers from least to greatest, we first need to convert them to decimal form where necessary and identify each category.

1. 11/3: When converted to decimal, $11/3\approx 3.6667$.
2. π (pi): Approximately $3.1416$.
3. 3.245: This is already in decimal form.
4. √16: This equals $4$, which is a rational number.
5. √8: This is approximately $2.8284$.

Now, let's list the numbers with their approximate decimal values:

• $\surd 8\approx 2.8284$
• $\pi \approx 3.1416$
• $3.245$
• $11/3\approx 3.6667$
• $\surd 16=4$

Now, we can order them from least to greatest:

1. $\surd 8$
2. $\pi$
3. $3.245$
4. $11/3$
5. $\surd 16$

Final ordered list: $\surd 8,\pi ,3.245,11/3,\surd 16$.
