Math Problem Statement

Order the following numbers from least to greatest: 3/4, 0.73, sqrt(0.52)

Solution

The image shows the task of ordering the following numbers from least to greatest:

  1. 34\frac{3}{4}
  2. 0.730.73
  3. 0.52\sqrt{0.52}

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Convert 34\frac{3}{4} into a decimal: 34=0.75\frac{3}{4} = 0.75

  2. Approximate 0.52\sqrt{0.52}: Use a calculator or approximation for 0.52\sqrt{0.52}. 0.520.721\sqrt{0.52} \approx 0.721

Now, we have:

  • 0.750.75 (for 34\frac{3}{4})
  • 0.730.73
  • 0.7210.721 (for 0.52\sqrt{0.52})

Final Order:

From least to greatest: 0.520.721, 0.73, 34=0.75\sqrt{0.52} \approx 0.721, \ 0.73, \ \frac{3}{4} = 0.75

So, the order is:

  1. 0.52\sqrt{0.52}
  2. 0.730.73
  3. 34\frac{3}{4}
