you can easily ballpark this question.

15625^1/2=125 ---- is just saying that the square root of 15625 is 125.

since you are going to have to add some more values to this value, you can get rid of answer choices A & B because they are too small.

15625^1/2 + 156.25^1/2 +1.5625^1/2

the square root of the bolded #'s will not be larger than 125 because the #'s are small.

so there is no way your answer can go from 125 straight to the thousands (answer choices d,e). So the only credited response is 138.75.

156.25^1/2 = (15625/100)^1/2 = 15625^1/2 / 10 = 125/10 = 12.5
1.5625^1/2 = (15625/10000)^1/2 = 15625^1/2 / 100 = 125/100 = 1.25

Therefore, 15625^1/2 + 156.25^1/2 +1.5625^1/2 = 125 + 12.5 + 1.25 = 138.75

The correct answer is (C).
