In which set are the numbers arranged in ascending order?
A. 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.000325, 0.00325
B. 3.25 x 10^-3, 2.25 x 10^-3, 3.25 x 10^-4, 1.25 x 10^-3
C. 0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, 0.00325
D. 3.25 x 10^-4, 1.25 x 10^-3, 2.25 x 10^-3, 3.25 x 10^-3
The numbers arranged in ascending order is set B. 3.25 x 10^-3, 2.25 x 10^-3, 3.25 x 10^-4, 1.25 x 10^-3.
The set in which the numbers are arranged in ascending order is C. 0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, 0.00325.
To determine which set of numbers is arranged in ascending order, we need to compare the numbers in each set and arrange them in increasing order.
Let's look at each set of numbers:
A. 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.000325, 0.00325
To arrange these numbers in ascending order, we start with the smallest value, which is 0.000325. The next smallest value is 0.00125, followed by 0.00225, and the largest value is 0.00325.
B. 3.25 x 10^-3, 2.25 x 10^-3, 3.25 x 10^-4, 1.25 x 10^-3
In this set, we have numbers written in scientific notation. To compare them, we can ignore the exponential part and focus on the decimal part. The smallest decimal value is 3.25 x 10^-4, followed by 1.25 x 10^-3, then 2.25 x 10^-3, and the largest value is 3.25 x 10^-3.
C. 0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, 0.00325
Arranging these numbers in ascending order, we start with 0.000325 as the smallest value, followed by 0.00125, then 0.00225, and finally, 0.00325 as the largest value.
D. 3.25 x 10^-4, 1.25 x 10^-3, 2.25 x 10^-3, 3.25 x 10^-3
Similarly to set B, we compare the decimal parts of these numbers. The smallest value is 3.25 x 10^-4, followed by 1.25 x 10^-3, then 2.25 x 10^-3, and the largest value is 3.25 x 10^-3.
Comparing the arrangements, we find that set C (0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, 0.00325) is arranged in ascending order.
