Math Problem Statement

There is no square root of 7

Solution

You're correct in pointing out that 7\sqrt{7} isn't a whole number. However, it does exist as an irrational number. The square root of 7 (7\sqrt{7}) is an irrational number that approximately equals 2.64575.

In this problem, you're supposed to order all the numbers from least to greatest, including 7\sqrt{7} even though it's an irrational number. Here's the revised ordering explanation:

  1. 23\frac{2}{3} = 0.6666...0.6666... (approximately 0.67)
  2. 2.2 (already a decimal)
  3. 4\sqrt{4} = 2 (since 4=2\sqrt{4} = 2)
  4. 7\sqrt{7} ≈ 2.64575
  5. 2.3 (already a decimal)

So, from least to greatest, the correct order is:

23,4,2.2,2.3,7\frac{2}{3}, \sqrt{4}, 2.2, 2.3, \sqrt{7}
