put the numbers in least to greatest √5,3.2,√13,2.9√8
2.9√8, √5, 3.2, √13
To arrange the numbers in least to greatest order, you need to compare their values.
Let's start by simplifying the radicals:
√5 ≈ 2.236
√13 ≈ 3.606
2.9√8 ≈ 12.472
Now, comparing the simplified values:
2.236 < 3.2 < 3.606 < 12.472
So, least to greatest, the numbers would be:
√5, 3.2, √13, 2.9√8
To put the numbers in least to greatest, we need to compare their values:
1. Let's start with the square roots. Comparing √5 and √13, we can see that √5 is smaller because 5 is smaller than 13. So √5 comes first.
2. Next, we need to compare √5 and 2.9√8. To do this, we can approximate 2.9√8 to a decimal value. Using a calculator, we get that 2.9√8 is approximately 16.059. Comparing this with √5, we can see that √5 is still smaller, so it remains first.
3. Now we compare √5 and 3.2. 3.2 is greater than √5, so 3.2 comes next.
4. Finally, we compare √5 and √13 with 3.2. Since √5 is smaller than √13, √5 remains first. So the order from least to greatest is:
√5, 2.9√8, 3.2, √13
