The numbers in this set are arranged in ascending order. To understand why, let's look at the base numbers of each number in scientific notation:
0.000325
0.00125
0.00225
0.00325
When comparing the base numbers, we see that 0.000325 is the smallest, followed by 0.00125, then 0.00225, and finally 0.00325. Therefore, the numbers are arranged in ascending order.

Let's focus on the exponent of each number:
3.25 × 10−4
1.25 × 10−3
2.25 × 10−3
3.25 × 10−3
The exponents are -4, -3, -3, and -3, respectively. Since the exponents are the same (-3), we need to compare the coefficients, which are the numbers before the "× 10" part.
Comparing the coefficients, we find that:
1.25 < 2.25 < 3.25
Therefore, in ascending order, the numbers are arranged as follows:
1.25 × 10−3
2.25 × 10−3
3.25 × 10−3
3.25 × 10−4

To subtract 4.66×10^(-5) - 7.34×10^(-7), we need to perform the subtraction separately for the coefficients and the exponents.
The coefficients:
4.66 - 7.34 = -2.68
The exponents:
10^(-5) - 10^(-7) = 10^(-5) because subtracting a smaller exponent from a larger one results in the larger exponent remaining.
Putting it together, we get the result as -2.68 × 10^(-5), which in decimal form is -0.0000268.
Therefore, the closest estimation for the subtraction of 4.66×10^(-5) - 7.34×10^(-7) is -2.68×10^(-5).

To subtract 4.66×10^(-5) - 7.34×10^(-7), we need to subtract the coefficients and keep the same exponent.
Subtracting the coefficients:
4.66 - 7.34 ≈ -2.68
Since both numbers have the same exponent of 10^(-5), we keep the exponent the same.
Therefore, the result is 4.5866 × 10^(-5) or approximately 0.000045866.

To find the increase in the U.S. national debt over the 50-year period, we need to subtract the debt in 1971 from the debt in 2021.
Subtracting:
$2.9617×10^13 - $3.98×10^11 ≈ $2.9219×10^13
Therefore, the increase in the U.S. national debt over the 50-year period is approximately $2.9219×10^13.
Subtracting:
$2.9617×10^13 - $3.98×10^11 ≈ $2.9219×10^13
Therefore, the increase in the U.S. national debt over the 50-year period is approximately $2.9219×10^13.

To find the difference in population between China and India, we need to subtract India's population from China's population.
China's population: 1.45×10^9
India's population: 1,400,000,000
Subtracting:
1.45×10^9 - 1,400,000,000 ≈ 5×10^7
Therefore, there are approximately 50 million more people living in China than in India. The correct answer is 5×10^7.
