Leon-------Mika-------Jason------Ashley

√17 - 2-----1 + π/2 -----12/5---------2.5


Sagot :

Answer:

  Leon (2.12), Jacon (2.40), Ashley (2.50), Mika (2.57)

Step-by-step explanation:

Putting a mix of rational and irrational numbers into numerical order can be done by using approximations to them of sufficient precision to be able to tell them apart.

Here, we can make the following approximations:

  √17 -2 ≈ 2.12

  1 +π/2 ≈ 2.57

Of course, the decimal value of 12/5 is 2.40, so the numbers will be arranged in order if Mika moves to the right end:

  Leon (2.12), Jacon (2.40), Ashley (2.50), Mika (2.57)
