In which of the following are the numbers √25, √2, 11/20, 3, and π listed from least to greatest?

Rationale

√25, 11/20, √2, π, 3 are listed from least to greatest.

To arrange the numbers in ascending order, we must evaluate their numerical values: √25 equals 5, √2 is approximately 1.41, 11/20 is 0.55, 3 is 3, and π is approximately 3.14. When compared, the correct order from least to greatest is 11/20, √2, 3, π, and √25.

A (√25, √2, 11/20, 3, π) YOUR ANSWER

This arrangement incorrectly places √25 at the beginning, which equals 5, making it the largest number in the list. It also incorrectly positions √2 (approximately 1.41) before 11/20 (0.55), violating the ascending order.

B (√2, √25, π, 3, 11/20) YOUR ANSWER

In this option, √2 is incorrectly placed as less than √25 and π, while 3 is placed after π. The values of √25 and π (approximately 3.14) are both greater than 3, making this arrangement incorrect.

C (3/20, 11/50, √2, √25, π) YOUR ANSWER

This option includes incorrect values not found in the question (3/20 and 11/50). Additionally, √2 is placed correctly, but √25 being positioned before π is incorrect as it is the largest number.

D (3/20, √25, 11/50, √2, π) CORRECT

This option lists incorrect values (3/20 and 11/50) as well. The positioning of √25 before π is also wrong, as it is larger than both numbers.

Conclusion

To correctly order the numbers √25, √2, 11/20, 3, and π from least to greatest, we find that 11/20 is the smallest, followed by √2, then 3, then π, and finally √25. The arrangement in option D does not accurately reflect the ascending order due to the inclusion of incorrect values and improper placements, highlighting the importance of carefully analyzing numerical values and their relationships.

In which of the following are the numbers √25, √2, 11/20, 3, and π listed from least to greatest?

√25, 11/20, √2, π, 3 are listed from least to greatest.
