Answer 1

Try to convert all of them in to a form which is easily to be determined ,To me i prefer decimal for ,so
√5=2.2 .
-o.1 .
-5/3=-1.6 .
0.7 .
√2=1.4
now u can compare easily :)
we will start with -ve values then the +ve one
-1.6<-0.1<0.7<1.4<2.2
now lets change them to the original form
-5/3<-0.1<0.7<√2<√5 ----->(c)
