I am having a hard time understanding how to arrange these numbers and I have to turn the assignment in tomorrow. Any help would be appreciated.

1. arrange the numbers in terminal digit order.
2. arrange the numbers in middle digit order.
3. arrange the numbers in consecutive order.

24-15-38, 18-03-01, 16-74-34,
17-34-60, 27-11-82, 21-32-71,
21-33-71, 26-00-02, 17-33-60,
19-31-01, 27-10-82, 20-33-70,
29-17-50, 16-74-32, 29-17-51,
18-31-02, 17-31-01, 27-11-42

I don't know what you mean by "terminal digit" and "middle digit" order. Do you mean the very last digit of each of the three numbers in each set of numbers? Or the last digit of each 3-number set?

Same question with "middle digit" order.

Same question with consecutive order. All the number sets? or just each row of three-set numbers? or what??

Sure, I can help you with that. Let's go step by step.

1. Arrange the numbers in terminal digit order:
To arrange the numbers in terminal digit order, you need to focus on the last digits of each number and sort them in ascending order. Here are the numbers arranged in terminal digit order:
18-03-01, 19-31-01, 27-11-42, 27-11-82, 16-74-32, 17-34-60, 21-32-71, 16-74-34, 27-10-82, 29-17-50, 20-33-70, 17-33-60, 21-33-71, 26-00-02, 18-31-02, 29-17-51, 17-31-01, 24-15-38.

2. Arrange the numbers in middle digit order:
To arrange the numbers in middle digit order, you need to focus on the middle digits of each number and sort them in ascending order. Here are the numbers arranged in middle digit order:
26-00-02, 18-03-01, 19-31-01, 27-10-82, 18-31-02, 17-31-01, 27-11-42, 16-74-34, 16-74-32, 17-34-60, 27-11-82, 17-33-60, 20-33-70, 21-32-71, 29-17-50, 21-33-71, 29-17-51, 24-15-38.

3. Arrange the numbers in consecutive order:
To arrange the numbers in consecutive order, you need to arrange them based on the order they appear, from top to bottom. Here are the numbers arranged in consecutive order:
24-15-38, 18-03-01, 16-74-34, 17-34-60, 27-11-82, 21-32-71, 21-33-71, 26-00-02, 17-33-60, 19-31-01, 27-10-82, 20-33-70, 29-17-50, 16-74-32, 29-17-51, 18-31-02, 17-31-01, 27-11-42.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

To help you with organizing the numbers, here are the steps you can follow for each arrangement:

1. Terminal Digit Order:
- Look at the last digit of each number (terminal digit) and sort the numbers based on this digit.
- Start by comparing the last digits of the numbers and arrange them in ascending order.
- If multiple numbers have the same last digit, compare the second-to-last digit (penultimate digit) and arrange them accordingly.
- Continue this process until all the numbers are in order.

2. Middle Digit Order:
- Look at the middle digit of each number and sort the numbers based on this digit.
- Start by comparing the middle digits of the numbers and arrange them in ascending order.
- If multiple numbers have the same middle digit, compare the last digit and arrange them accordingly.
- Continue this process until all the numbers are in order.

3. Consecutive Order:
- Arrange the numbers in the order they are given, from top to bottom. Do not change the order.

Now, let's apply these steps to your given numbers:

1. Terminal Digit Order:
- Arrange the numbers based on the last digit:
27-11-42, 17-31-01, 27-11-82, 18-31-02, 17-33-60, 21-32-71,
19-31-01, 21-33-71, 18-03-01, 16-74-34, 24-15-38, 26-00-02,
27-10-82, 20-33-70, 16-74-32, 29-17-50, 17-34-60, 29-17-51.

2. Middle Digit Order:
- Arrange the numbers based on the middle digit:
26-00-02, 18-03-01, 17-31-01, 19-31-01, 27-11-42, 29-17-50,
16-74-32, 17-34-60, 27-11-82, 16-74-34, 18-31-02, 29-17-51,
20-33-70, 24-15-38, 17-33-60, 21-32-71, 21-33-71, 27-10-82.

3. Consecutive Order:
- No changes needed. The numbers are already arranged in the given order.
