In which sst are the numbers arranged in ascending order?
a. 0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, 0.00325
b. 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.000325, 0.00325
c. 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 *10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-3
d.3.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 *10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3
b. 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.000325, 0.00325
To determine the set of numbers arranged in ascending order, we need to compare the numbers and see which comes first. Let's compare the numbers provided in each option:
a. 0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, 0.00325
b. 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.000325, 0.00325
c. 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 *10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-3
d. 3.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 *10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3
Comparing the numbers in option a, we can see that they are not in ascending order.
Comparing the numbers in option b, we can see that they are not in ascending order.
Comparing the numbers in option c, we can see that they are not in ascending order.
Comparing the numbers in option d, we can see that they are arranged in ascending order.
Therefore, the numbers that are arranged in ascending order can be found in option d: 3.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 *10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3.
To determine which set of numbers is arranged in ascending order, you need to compare the numbers from least to greatest. Let's start with option (a):
a. 0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, 0.00325
Looking at these numbers, we can start by comparing the first two:
0.000325 < 0.00225
Since 0.000325 is smaller than 0.00225, we know that we are moving from left to right in ascending order. Now let's compare the next pair:
0.00225 > 0.00125
Since 0.00225 is greater than 0.00125, this violates the ascending order. Therefore, we can conclude that option (a) is not arranged in ascending order.
Now let's move on to option (b):
b. 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.000325, 0.00325
Again, we can start by comparing the first two numbers:
0.00125 < 0.00225
Since 0.00125 is smaller than 0.00225, we are still moving in ascending order. Now let's compare the next pair:
0.00225 > 0.000325
Again, we see that the second number is larger than the first, which violates the ascending order. So, option (b) is also not arranged in ascending order.
Moving on to option (c):
c. 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 *10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-3
This set of numbers is written in scientific notation, where numbers are expressed as a coefficient multiplied by a power of 10. We can compare the coefficients, keeping the power of 10 the same:
3.25 * 10^-4 < 1.25 * 10^-3 < 2.25 *10^-3 < 3.25 * 10^-3
So, in option (c), the numbers are arranged in ascending order.
Finally, let's consider option (d):
d. 3.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 *10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3
Again, comparing the coefficients while keeping the power of 10 the same:
3.25 * 10^-3 > 2.25 *10^-3 > 3.25 * 10^-4 > 1.25 * 10^-3
In this case, we see that the numbers are not in ascending order.
Therefore, the set of numbers arranged in ascending order is option (c): 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 *10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-3.
