OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

OpenStudy (spring98):

Can you tell me the order? plz

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

show me some work and ill help you out

OpenStudy (spring98):

is that the answer?

OpenStudy (spring98):

i ma giving you some work!!

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

lol did you calculate square root of five ?

OpenStudy (spring98):

ya it is 2.2

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

:) do it, by the way, where is spring98's calculator ?

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

Im sorry do it again, because it is not 2.2

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

square root of five is an irrational number

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

2.236 and goes on and on with non repeating decimals .

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

now 2.717171 71 71 and so on with 71 till infinity is greater than square root of five. what do you think ?

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

besides, 2times 3/4 = 2.75 and 5/2 = 2.5

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

finally, we need to order them from least to greatest: 2.236 2.7171 2.75 2.5 can you figure this out, now ?

OpenStudy (spring98):

2.236, 2.5, 2.7171, 2.75

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

:)

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

nicely done

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

OpenStudy (spring98):

can you tell me it in this form though https://cv-kettle-falls.brainhoney.com/Resource/30603643,0/Assets/75083_53df838b/01_01_10.gif

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

look what we have: 2.36 ; 2.5 ; 2,71 ; 2.75 or in other numbers ?

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

2.236 = square root of five; 2.5 = 5/2 2,71 = 2,71 2 times 2/3 = ?

OpenStudy (spring98):

is that from least to greatest or greatest to least?

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

\[\sqrt{5} ,\frac{ 5 }{ 2 } , ... ?\]

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

least to greatest : from the smallest number up to reach the bigger one

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

so tell me now the correct answer plz
