Answer:

The order in ascending order is: Plant D; Plant B; Plant C; Plant A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Plant\ A = \sqrt{35}\ in[/tex]

[tex]Plant\ B = 5.3\ in[/tex]

[tex]Plant\ C = 5\frac{1}{2}\ in[/tex]

[tex]Plant\ D = 5\frac{1}{5}\ in[/tex]

Required

Arrange the plants in ascending order

First, express the heights of all the plants in decimal

[tex]Plant\ A = \sqrt{35}\ in[/tex]

[tex]Plant\ A = 5.9160797831\ in[/tex]

[tex]Plant\ A = 5.92\ in[/tex] (Approximated)

[tex]Plant\ B = 5.3\ in[/tex]

[tex]Plant\ C = 5\frac{1}{2}\ in[/tex]

Convert to mixed numbers

[tex]Plant\ C = \frac{11}{2}\ in[/tex]

[tex]Plant\ C = 5.5\ in[/tex]

[tex]Plant\ D = 5\frac{1}{5}\ in[/tex]

Convert to mixed numbers

[tex]Plant\ D = \frac{26}{5}\ in[/tex]

[tex]Plant\ D = 5.2\ in[/tex]

Now, the plants can be arranged in ascending order;

[tex]Plant\ D = 5.2\ in[/tex] [tex]Plant\ B = 5.3\ in[/tex] [tex]Plant\ C = 5.5\ in[/tex] [tex]Plant\ A = 5.92\ in[/tex]
