To determine which set of numbers is arranged in ascending order, we will first convert all numbers into decimal form for easier comparison.
-
First Set:
- \(0.00125\)
- \(0.00225\)
- \(0.000325\)
- \(0.00325\)
Arranged in ascending order:
- \(0.000325\)
- \(0.00125\)
- \(0.00225\)
- \(0.00325\)
-
Second Set: (in scientific notation)
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-4} = 0.000325\)
- \(1.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00125\)
- \(2.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00225\)
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00325\)
Arranged in ascending order:
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-4}\)
- \(1.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
- \(2.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
-
Third Set: (also in scientific notation)
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00325\)
- \(2.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00225\)
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-4} = 0.000325\)
- \(1.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00125\)
Arranged in ascending order:
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-4}\)
- \(1.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
- \(2.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
-
Fourth Set:
- \(0.000325\)
- \(0.00225\)
- \(0.00125\)
- \(0.00325\)
Arranged in ascending order:
- \(0.000325\)
- \(0.00125\)
- \(0.00225\)
- \(0.00325\)
Based on our analysis, the second and third sets show the numbers arranged correctly in ascending order. Thus:
Correct Arrangements:
- Second Set: \(3.25 \times 10^{-4}, 1.25 \times 10^{-3}, 2.25 \times 10^{-3}, 3.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
- Third Set: \(3.25 \times 10^{-3}, 2.25 \times 10^{-3}, 3.25 \times 10^{-4}, 1.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
Therefore, the correct answer for numbers arranged in ascending order is: Second Set or Third Set is correct.
