Answer 1

you can only pick one

Answer 2

To determine which set of numbers is arranged in ascending order, we can convert the numbers to standard decimal form when necessary and compare them.

1. **First set**:
- 0.00125
- 0.00225
- 0.000325 (0.000325 = 0.000325)
- 0.00325

In decimal: **0.000325, 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.00325**

2. **Second set** (in scientific notation):
- 3.25 × 10⁻³ = 0.00325
- 2.25 × 10⁻³ = 0.00225
- 3.25 × 10⁻⁴ = 0.000325
- 1.25 × 10⁻³ = 0.00125

In decimal: **0.000325, 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.00325**

3. **Third set**:
- 0.000325
- 0.00225
- 0.00125
- 0.00325

In decimal: **0.000325, 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.00325** (not in ascending order)

4. **Fourth set** (in scientific notation):
- 3.25 × 10⁻⁴ = 0.000325
- 1.25 × 10⁻³ = 0.00125
- 2.25 × 10⁻³ = 0.00225
- 3.25 × 10⁻³ = 0.00325

In decimal: **0.000325, 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.00325**

Therefore, sets 1, 2, and 4 are arranged in ascending order while set 3 is not.

To conclude:
- The **first**, **second**, and **fourth** sets are in ascending order.

Answer 3

If I can only pick one set that is arranged in ascending order, the best choice would be the **fourth set**:

**3.25 × 10⁻⁴, 1.25 × 10⁻³, 2.25 × 10⁻³, 3.25 × 10⁻³**

This set is arranged in the correct ascending order.
