Math Problem Statement

Consider the numbers \( \sqrt{6}, 1.8, \sqrt{25}, \frac{1}{3}, \pi, 6 \). Which of the following shows the numbers graphed correctly and listed in order from least to greatest?

Solution

Let's first evaluate the numbers given:

  1. 13\frac{1}{3} ≈ 0.33
  2. 1.8 (given directly)
  3. π\pi ≈ 3.14
  4. 6\sqrt{6} ≈ 2.45
  5. 25=5\sqrt{25} = 5
  6. 6 (given directly)

Now we order these from least to greatest: 130.33, 1.8, 62.45, π3.14, 25=5, 6\frac{1}{3} \approx 0.33, \ 1.8, \ \sqrt{6} \approx 2.45, \ \pi \approx 3.14, \ \sqrt{25} = 5, \ 6

The correct order is: 13, 1.8, 6, π, 25, 6\frac{1}{3}, \ 1.8, \ \sqrt{6}, \ \pi, \ \sqrt{25}, \ 6

Now, let's check which option graphs these numbers correctly in increasing order:

  • Option C is the correct answer.

  2. How do you compute square roots of non-perfect squares?
  3. What are rational and irrational numbers?
  4. How do you estimate square roots without a calculator?
  5. Can all numbers be represented on a number line?

Tip: When comparing irrational numbers like π\pi, it helps to use an approximate decimal value for clarity.
