Greetings from Brasil…
Let’s look at each number
1/6 = 1 ÷ 6 = 0.16666….
– 3 = – 3
√7:
√4 < √7 < √9, so
2 < √7 < 3 the result of √7 is between 2 and 3
-6/5 = (- 6) ÷ 5 or 6 ÷ (- 5) = – 1.2
4.5 = 4.5
Writing the numbers in ascending order can tell:
– 3; – 6/5; 1/6; √7 and 4.5
or (same values – approximated values):
– 3; – 1.2; 0.2; 2.5 and 4.5
see annex
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given numbers:
1/6, -3, √7, -6/5, 4.5
The smallest one is chosen between the two negatives as all the rest are greater.
So the answer is -3
