Question

Drag the numbers to order them from greatest to least, with the greatest at the top.

​√ ​ 8/3 ​​
π
​3.01245...​
√ ​17

Answer 1

(√ ​17 = 4.12..., √ ​ 8/3 = 1.63..., π = 3.14...)

Greatest to least would be:
√ ​17
π
3.01245...​
√ ​ 8/3

Answer 2

Answer: Our numbers are:
`√(8/3)`, π, 3.01245 and
`√(17)`. Let's analyze them:

1)
`√(8/3)= √(16/6) =4/√(6)` and
`√(6) \geq√(4)= 2`, so
`4/√(6) \leq4/2 = 2`

So
`√(8/3)\leq2`

2) the number pi is 3.14159265

3) this number is 3.01245, doesn't require more analyzing-

4)
`√(17)`, we know that
`√(16) = 4`, then
`√(17) \geq 4`

So the correct order from greatest to lowest is:

`√(17)`, π , 3.01245,
`√(8/3)`

You also can check it with a calculator, but it isn't the idea of the problem.
