Answer 1

To order the numbers from least to greatest, we first need to convert any scientific notation to standard form:

1. 0.0062 is already in standard form.
2. 7.6 × 10⁻² = 7.6 × 0.01 = 0.076.
3. 2.4 × 10³ = 2.4 × 1000 = 2400.
4. 8,900 is already in standard form.
5. 1.2 × 10⁴ = 1.2 × 10000 = 12000.
6. 5.5 × 10⁴ = 5.5 × 10000 = 55000.

Now we have:

• 0.0062
• 0.076
• 2400
• 8900
• 12000
• 55000

Now, let's order them from least to greatest:

• 0.0062
• 0.076
• 2400
• 8900
• 12000
• 55000

So the final ordered list is:

0.0062, 0.076, 2400, 8900, 12000, 55000

The answer format:

_____, _____, _____, _____, _____, _____

0.0062, 0.076, 2400, 8900, 12000, 55000
