C. 11 over 9, square root of 5, square root of 11, square root of 20, 2 to the power of 3
D. 11 over 9, 2 to the power of 3, square root of 5, square root of 20, square root of 11

Answer 1

C) 11/9,
`√(5)` ,
`√(11)`,
`√(20)`, 2^3

Explanation:

2^3 = 8

`√(5)` = 2.236....

`√(20)` = 4.472...

`√(11)` = 3.317...

11/9 = 1.222...

So from least to greatest:

11/9,
`√(5)` ,
`√(11)`,
`√(20)`, 2^3

The answer would be C.
