The document contains several exercises related to comparing and ordering rational and irrational numbers. Here are some of the tasks included:

1. **Estimate √48** by finding the integers it falls between and determining which integer it is closer to.
2. **Compare the numbers** √3 and 2.6.
3. **Order the numbers** \(1, \frac{6}{5}, -4, \sqrt{5}, -\frac{9}{5}, 4.8\) from least to greatest.
4. **Estimate √39** and find its position between two consecutive whole numbers, including refining the approximation by squaring decimals.
5. **Order the heights** of clay pots with measurements: \( \frac{2}{3} \text{ in.}, 2.5 \text{ in.}, 1.2 \text{ in.}, \sqrt{8} \text{ in.}, 1.8 \text{ in.}, \sqrt{7} \text{ in.} \)

Would you like a detailed solution for one of these problems, or clarification on a specific part?

Here are five relative questions you might consider:
1. How do you estimate square roots between integers?
2. What are some tips for comparing irrational numbers to rational numbers?
3. How do you approach ordering both positive and negative numbers?
4. What is the best method to square decimals when refining square root estimates?
5. How do you plot irrational numbers accurately on a number line?

**Tip:** When comparing square roots to integers or decimals, approximating the square roots can make it easier to compare!

Estimate √48 by finding what integers it falls between. Compare the following numbers √3 and 2.6. Write the following numbers from least to greatest: 1, 6/5, -4, √5, -9/5, 4.8. Find the approximate height of a painting at √39 ft and the order of clay pots by height: 2/3 in., 2.5 in., 1.2 in., √8 in., 1.8 in., √7 in.

This exercise covers how to estimate square roots, compare rational and irrational numbers like √3 and 2.6, and order values including fractions, decimals, and square roots. Additionally, it shows methods for refining square root approximations with decimals and plotting numbers on a number line. Suitable for middle school students (Grades 7-9).
