To determine which set of numbers is arranged in ascending order, we need to compare the values of each number. Here are the options provided, with some explanation for each:
1. 3.25 × 10^−3, 2.25 × 10^−3, 3.25 × 10^−4, 1.25 × 10^−3
- This sequence is not in ascending order as the numbers do not progress from smallest to largest.
2. 3.25 × 10^−3, 2.25 × 10^−3, 3.25 × 10^−4, 1.25 × 10^−3
- Identical to the first set, it's not in ascending order.
3. 0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, 0.00325
- This sequence is also not in ascending order. Note that 0.00125 (1.25 × 10^−3) should come before 0.00225 (2.25 × 10^−3).
4. 3.25 × 10^−4, 1.25 × 10^−3, 2.25 × 10^−3, 3.25 × 10^−3
- This sequence is in ascending order. The smallest number is 3.25 × 10^−4, then it progresses to larger values: 1.25 × 10^−3, followed by 2.25 × 10^−3, and finally the largest number is 3.25 × 10^−3.
Therefore, the fourth set ("3.25 × 10^−4, 1.25 × 10^−3, 2.25 × 10^−3, 3.25 × 10^−3") is the one with numbers arranged in ascending order.
