To determine which number has the greatest value, let's evaluate each option:

  1. 1 2/3 = 1.666...

  2. 1 = 1

  3. 2 = 2

  4. 3 = 3

  5. 1 and 2 thirds = 1 2/3 = 1.666...

  6. 2–√ = 2 - √2 ≈ 2 - 1.414 = 0.586

  7. 2 = 2

  8. square root of 2 = √2 ≈ 1.414

  9. π2 ≈ 3.14 × 2 = 6.28

  10. 𝜋 = approximately 3.14

  11. 2 = 2

  12. pi over 2 = π/2 ≈ 1.57

  13. 1.5 = 1.5

  14. 1.5 = 1.5

  15. 1 point 5 = 1.5

Now, comparing the evaluated values:

  • 1 2/3 ≈ 1.666
  • 1 ≈ 1
  • 2 = 2
  • 3 = 3
  • 1 and 2 thirds = 1 2/3 ≈ 1.666
  • 2 - √ ≈ 0.586
  • √2 ≈ 1.414
  • π2 ≈ 6.28
  • π ≈ 3.14
  • π/2 ≈ 1.57
  • 1.5 = 1.5

Among these, the greatest value is π2 (approximately 6.28).
