Answer 1

what is the answer

Answer 2

To determine which set of numbers is arranged in ascending order, we need to convert all the scientific notation numbers to their decimal equivalents and compare them.

1. **First Set:**
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00325\)
- \(2.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00225\)
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-4} = 0.000325\)
- \(1.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00125\)

Arranged in ascending order: \(0.000325\), \(0.00125\), \(0.00225\), \(0.00325\)

2. **Second Set:**
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-4} = 0.000325\)
- \(1.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00125\)
- \(2.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00225\)
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00325\)

Arranged in ascending order: \(0.000325\), \(0.00125\), \(0.00225\), \(0.00325\)

3. **Third Set:**
- \(0.00125\)
- \(0.00225\)
- \(0.000325\) (this one is out of order)
- \(0.00325\)

This set is not in ascending order.

4. **Fourth Set:**
- \(0.000325\)
- \(0.00225\)
- \(0.00125\) (this one is out of order)
- \(0.00325\)

This set is also not in ascending order.

From the above analysis, the first two sets are arranged in ascending order:

- **Set 1**: \(3.25 \times 10^{-4}\), \(1.25 \times 10^{-3}\), \(2.25 \times 10^{-3}\), \(3.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
- **Set 2**: \(0.000325\), \(0.00125\), \(0.00225\), \(0.00325\)

Both **Set 1** and **Set 2** contain the numbers in ascending order, but if you are looking for a single answer, you can choose either set that clearly shows the correct order.

**Answer:** Both the first and second sets are arranged in ascending order.

Answer 3

The answer is the second set of numbers:

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

This set is arranged in ascending order.
