Question

What is the order of √5 , -0.1, -5/3 , 0.7, √2 from least to greatest?

Answer 1

negative then positive .. try

Answer 2

Put them in terms that are easy to understand then then sort. For example, you know that the sqrt of 4 is 2, so sqrt of 5 is a little over 2+
the sqrt of 1 is 1, so the sqrt of 2 is a little over 1+
-0.1 is really -1/10, so you know it is a little less than 0
-5/3 is -5 divided by 3, so you know that is -1 2/3.. But remember that negative numbers get 'smaller' the 'larger' in magnitude.
0.7 is 7/10, which is a little less than 1-
So you're left with :
2(+)
1(+)
0(-)
-1(-)
1(-)
Now sort. :)
