Transcribed Image Text:**Task: Order the Numbers from Least to Greatest**
This exercise requires you to arrange the given numbers in ascending order. The numbers provided are:
- \( \frac{5}{3} \)
- \( 2.5 \)
- \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} \)
- \( \sqrt{5} \)
To complete this task, convert each number into a decimal to compare them easily:
1. \( \frac{5}{3} \approx 1.67 \)
2. \( 2.5 \) is already in decimal form.
3. \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \)
4. \( \sqrt{5} \approx 2.24 \)
Now, order these decimals from least to greatest:
- \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} = 1.5 \)
- \( \frac{5}{3} \approx 1.67 \)
- \( \sqrt{5} \approx 2.24 \)
- \( 2.5 \)
**Answer:**
\( \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}}, \frac{5}{3}, \sqrt{5}, 2.5 \)
This task helps improve skills in numerical comparison and understanding square roots and fractions.
