Question

Order the numbers from smallest to largest. Use the number line (-10 to +10) as a guide to ensure you put the numbers in the correct order of smallest number to largest.

Numbers:
-7.6 x 10^-9, 5.7 x 10^13, 1.9 x 10^7, 4.5 x 10^4, 9.3 x 10^-7, 3.2 x 10^4

Answer 1

To order the numbers from smallest to largest, we first need to convert the numbers into standard decimal form.

1. **-7.6 x 10^-9** = -0.0000000076
2. **5.7 x 10^13** = 57000000000000
3. **1.9 x 10^7** = 19000000
4. **4.5 x 10^4** = 45000
5. **9.3 x 10^-7** = 0.00000093
6. **3.2 x 10^4** = 32000

Now, we can list these values:

- -0.0000000076
- 0.00000093
- 32000
- 45000
- 19000000
- 57000000000000

Now, ordering these from smallest to largest gives us:

1. **-7.6 x 10^-9**
2. **9.3 x 10^-7**
3. **3.2 x 10^4**
4. **4.5 x 10^4**
5. **1.9 x 10^7**
6. **5.7 x 10^13**

So the ordered numbers from smallest to largest are:

-7.6 x 10^-9, 9.3 x 10^-7, 3.2 x 10^4, 4.5 x 10^4, 1.9 x 10^7, 5.7 x 10^13.
