Question

List the values in desending order square root 170, 13.5, 64/5, 13 7/8

Answer 1

Consider the given set of values,

$\sqrt[]{170},13.5,\frac{64}{5},13\frac{7}{8}$

First of all, we need to convert each value into decimal form,

$\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{170}\approx13.0384 \\ 13.5 \\ \frac{64}{5}\approx12.8 \\ 13\frac{7}{8}=\frac{(13\cdot8)+7}{8}=\frac{111}{8}\approx13.875 \end{gathered}$

So the set of values in decimal form are,

$13.0384,13.5,12.8,13.875$

It is known that,

$13.875>13.5>13.0384>12.8$
