In which set are the numbers arranged in ascending order?
A. 3.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 * 10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3
B. 0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, 0.00325
C. 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.000325, 0.00325
D. 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 * 10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-3
The correct answer is C. 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.000325, 0.00325
To determine which set has the numbers arranged in ascending order, we need to compare the values of the numbers in each set.
A. 3.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 * 10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3
To compare these numbers, we can ignore the scientific notation for now and focus on the decimal part. In this case, we have 0.00325, 0.00225, 0.000325, and 0.00125. The numbers arranged in ascending order would be: 0.000325, 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.00325.
B. 0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, 0.00325
These numbers are already in decimal form and arranged in ascending order.
C. 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.000325, 0.00325
Again, these numbers are in decimal form and arranged in ascending order.
D. 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 * 10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-3
Converting the scientific notation to decimal form gives us 0.000325, 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.00325. These numbers are arranged in ascending order.
Based on the comparisons, it is clear that set B, with the numbers 0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, and 0.00325, is the one where the numbers are arranged in ascending order.
To determine which set has the numbers arranged in ascending order, we can compare the numbers in each set. Let's compare the numbers in each set:
A. 3.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 * 10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3
B. 0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, 0.00325
C. 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.000325, 0.00325
D. 3.25 * 10^-4, 1.25 * 10^-3, 2.25 * 10^-3, 3.25 * 10^-3
Looking at set A, the first number is 3.25 * 10^-3, the second number is 2.25 * 10^-3, the third number is 3.25 * 10^-4, and the fourth number is 1.25 * 10^-3.
Looking at set B, the first number is 0.000325, the second number is 0.00225, the third number is 0.00125, and the fourth number is 0.00325.
Looking at set C, the first number is 0.00125, the second number is 0.00225, the third number is 0.000325, and the fourth number is 0.00325.
Looking at set D, the first number is 3.25 * 10^-4, the second number is 1.25 * 10^-3, the third number is 2.25 * 10^-3, and the fourth number is 3.25 * 10^-3.
Now, comparing the numbers in each set, we can see that set B has the numbers arranged in ascending order:
0.000325 < 0.00125 < 0.00225 < 0.00325
So, the answer is B. 0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, 0.00325.
