order the numbers from least to greatest.
Sqrt 7, -2.3, sqrt 3, 5.1, - 1/3
-2.3, - 1/3, sqrt 3, Sqrt 7, 5.1
To order the numbers from least to greatest, we can compare them and arrange them accordingly:
-2.3, -1/3, sqrt 3, sqrt 7, 5.1
To order the numbers from least to greatest, we need to compare their values. Let's go step by step:
1. -2.3: This number is the most straightforward since it is a regular decimal. It is the smallest number among all the given values.
2. -1/3: This is a fraction. To compare it with the other numbers, we'll convert it to a decimal. To do so, divide -1 by 3. The result is approximately -0.3333.
3. √3: We need to calculate the square root of 3 to compare it to the other numbers. The square root of 3 is approximately 1.732.
4. √7: Similar to the previous step, we need to calculate the square root of 7. The square root of 7 is approximately 2.646.
5. 5.1: This is a regular decimal and is the greatest number among all the given values.
Now that we have converted the fraction to a decimal and calculated the square roots, let's arrange the numbers from least to greatest:
-2.3, approximately -0.3333, √3 (approximately 1.732), √7 (approximately 2.646), 5.1
