To compare the numbers in the list, we will convert them to their decimal forms:
1. **1.2 x 10^-2** = 0.012
2. **1.6 x 10^7** = 16,000,000
3. **3.2 x 10^-5** = 0.000032
4. **4.8 x 10^3** = 4,800
Now, we can list these numbers in order from least to greatest:
1. **3.2 x 10^-5** (0.000032)
2. **1.2 x 10^-2** (0.012)
3. **4.8 x 10^3** (4,800)
4. **1.6 x 10^7** (16,000,000)
So the ordered list is:
1. 3.2 x 10^-5
2. 1.2 x 10^-2
3. 4.8 x 10^3
4. 1.6 x 10^7
