To order the numbers from least to greatest, we first need to find their approximate decimal values.

1. 8.89 is already in decimal form.
2. √95 is approximately 9.74 (since 9.74 x 9.74 is close to 95).
3. -23/17 is approximately -1.35 (since -23 divided by 17 equals about -1.35).
4. -√5 is approximately -2.24 (since √5 is approximately 2.24, making -√5 about -2.24).

Now we can order these values:

-√5 ≈ -2.24

-23/17 ≈ -1.35

8.89

√95 ≈ 9.74

Putting them in order from least to greatest, we have:

-√5, -23/17, 8.89, √95.

So the order is -√5, -23/17, 8.89, √95.
