Answer:
[tex] \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} [/tex] < [tex] \frac{5}{3} [/tex] < [tex] \sqrt{5} [/tex] < 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following numbers, [tex] \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}}, \sqrt{5}, 2.5, and, \frac{5}{3} [/tex], let's express each as whole or decimal numbers, to find out the least to the greatest.
[tex] \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{4}} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{5} [/tex] ≈ 2.2
2.5 (already in decimal form)
[tex] \frac{5}{3} [/tex] ≈ 1.7
From the least to the greatest, we have:
[tex] \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} [/tex] < [tex] \frac{5}{3} [/tex] < [tex] \sqrt{5} [/tex] < 2.5
