B 3.25 × 10^-3,2.25 × 10^-3,3.25 × 10^-4, 1.25 × 10^-3
C 0.000325, 0.00225, 0.00125, 0.00325
D 3.25 × 10^-4,1.25 × 10^-3, 2.25 × 10^-3, 3.25 × 10^-3

Answer 1

To determine which set of numbers is arranged in ascending order, we need to convert all numbers into the same form for easier comparison.

Set A:

• 0.00125
• 0.00225
• 0.000325
• 0.00325

Ordering: 0.000325, 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.00325 (not in ascending order).

Set B:

• 3.25 × 10^-3 = 0.00325
• 2.25 × 10^-3 = 0.00225
• 3.25 × 10^-4 = 0.000325
• 1.25 × 10^-3 = 0.00125

Ordering: 0.000325, 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.00325 (not in ascending order).

Set C:

• 0.000325
• 0.00225
• 0.00125
• 0.00325

Ordering: 0.000325, 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.00325 (not in ascending order).

Set D:

• 3.25 × 10^-4 = 0.000325
• 1.25 × 10^-3 = 0.00125
• 2.25 × 10^-3 = 0.00225
• 3.25 × 10^-3 = 0.00325

Ordering: 0.000325, 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.00325 (in ascending order).

Thus, Set D is arranged in ascending order.
