These list the following numbers in order from least at the top to greatest at the bottom.

Question

1.2 x 10^-2
1.6 x 10^7
3.2 x 10^-5
4.8 x 10^3

Answer 1

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
