1 answer

To determine which set has the numbers arranged in ascending order, let's compare the values in each option.

  1. First Set:

    • \(0.00125\)
    • \(0.00225\)
    • \(0.000325\)
    • \(0.00325\)

    Ordering these from smallest to largest:

    • \(0.000325\), \(0.00125\), \(0.00225\), \(0.00325\)
    • This set is not in ascending order.
  2. Second Set:

    • \(3.25 \times 10^{-4}\)
    • \(1.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
    • \(2.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
    • \(3.25 \times 10^{-3}\)

    Converting these to decimal form:

    • \(3.25 \times 10^{-4} = 0.000325\)
    • \(1.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00125\)
    • \(2.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00225\)
    • \(3.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00325\)

    Ordering these gives:

    • \(0.000325\), \(0.00125\), \(0.00225\), \(0.00325\)
    • This set is in ascending order.
  3. Third Set:

    • \(3.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
    • \(2.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
    • \(3.25 \times 10^{-4}\)
    • \(1.25 \times 10^{-3}\)

    Converting to decimal form:

    • \(3.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00325\)
    • \(2.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00225\)
    • \(3.25 \times 10^{-4} = 0.000325\)
    • \(1.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00125\)

    Ordering these gives:

    • \(0.000325\), \(0.00125\), \(0.00225\), \(0.00325\)
    • This set is not in ascending order.
  4. Fourth Set:

    • \(0.000325\)
    • \(0.00225\)
    • \(0.00125\)
    • \(0.00325\)

    Ordering gives:

    • \(0.000325\), \(0.00125\), \(0.00225\), \(0.00325\)
    • This set is not in ascending order.

Based on this analysis, the correct answer is the second set:

3.25×10^-4, 1.25×10^-3, 2.25×10^-3, 3.25×10^-3 is arranged in ascending order.
