#1.5#

Explanation:

#15^2 = 225#, so #2.25 = 225/100 = 225/(10^2)#

and #sqrt(2.25) = sqrt((15^2)/(10^2)) = 15/10 = 1.5#

#sqrt(2.25) -> sqrt(9/4) -> sqrt(9)/sqrt(4) -> 3/2 ->1.5#

Explanation:

Some situations one way works well and at another time it is not so good. To have several approaches is good
