Item 9
Item 10
Item 11
3.24 x 105
4.68 x 10
5.48 x 10
8.34 x 106
1.2 x 10

Answer 1

To order the numbers from smallest to largest, we first need to convert them into the same format for easier comparison. The numbers you've given seem to be written in scientific notation, so we'll interpret them as follows:

1. Item 9: \(3.24 \times 10^5 = 324000\)
2. Item 10: \(4.68 \times 10 = 46.8\)
3. Item 11: \(5.48 \times 10 = 54.8\)
4. \(8.34 \times 10^6 = 8340000\)
5. \(1.2 \times 10 = 12\)

Now we can list them out:

- Item 10: \(46.8\)
- Item 11: \(54.8\)
- \(1.2 \times 10 = 12\)
- \(3.24 \times 10^5 = 324000\)
- \(8.34 \times 10^6 = 8340000\)

Now, putting them in order from smallest to largest:

1. \(12\) (Item 11)
2. \(46.8\) (Item 10)
3. \(54.8\) (Item 11)
4. \(324000\) (Item 9)
5. \(8340000\) (Item 4)

Correcting the above numbers in the right order, the final answer is:

1. \(1.2 \times 10 = 12\) (Smallest)
2. \(4.68 \times 10 = 46.8\)
3. \(5.48 \times 10 = 54.8\)
4. \(3.24 \times 10^5 = 324000\)
5. \(8.34 \times 10^6 = 8340000\) (Largest)

So, the correct order from smallest to largest is:
- \(1.2 \times 10\)
- \(4.68 \times 10\)
- \(5.48 \times 10\)
- \(3.24 \times 10^5\)
- \(8.34 \times 10^6\)
