Answer:  The correct option is (A) < .

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to select the correct mathematical symbol that would best fill in the blank to compare the following two real numbers :

$\sqrt7~~~?~~~\dfrac{14}{5}.$

First , we need to find the values of both the real numbers in decimal form.

We have

$\sqrt7=2.64575...,\\\\\dfrac{14}{5}=2.8.$

Since, $2.64575$ so we get
