Answer 1

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

`√(7) \ \ \ ? \ \ (14)/(5)`

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

We have

`√(7)=2.64575...`

`(14)/(5) =2.8`

Since,
`2.64575 < 2.8` so we get

`\boxed{\bold{√(7) < (14)/(5)}}`

Thus, the correct mathematical symbol is
`\bold{ < }`.

Option (A) is correct.
