Which of the following shows the correct order of the numbers below?

2
(1) 2
- - 0.45
2 , 3 ,

2
A) (1) 2
- < 0.45 < -
2 , 3



2
B) (1) < 2 < 0.45
- -
2 3

2
C)0.45 < (1) < 2
- -
2 3

its hard to read but looks like the last one?

To determine the correct order of the numbers, we need to compare them and arrange them in ascending order. Let's analyze each option:

Option A:
- First, we have (1) which is the same value as 1.
- Next, we compare 1 to 2, and since 1 is less than 2, we have (1) < 2.
- Lastly, we compare 2 to 0.45. Since 2 is greater than 0.45, we have 2 > 0.45.

Therefore, the correct order for Option A is (1) < 2 > 0.45.

Option B:
- We compare (1) to 2 first. Both values are equal to 1, so (1) = 2.
- Since (1) = 2, we compare it to 0.45. Since 2 is greater than 0.45, we have (1) > 0.45.
- Finally, we compare 2 (which is the same as (1)) to 3. Since 2 is less than 3, we have 2 < 3.

Therefore, the correct order for Option B is (1) > 0.45 < 2 < 3.

Option C:
- We compare 0.45 to (1) first. Since 0.45 is less than 1, we have 0.45 < (1).
- Next, we compare (1) (which is the same as 1) to 2. Since 1 is less than 2, we have (1) < 2.
- Lastly, we compare 2 to 3. Since 2 is less than 3, we have 2 < 3.

Therefore, the correct order for Option C is 0.45 < (1) < 2 < 3.

Based on the comparisons, Option C is the correct order of the numbers.
