options: 0.0062, 7.6 x 10^-2, 2.4 x 10^3, 8,900, 1.2 x 10^4, 5.5 x 10^4

1 answer

To order the numbers from least to greatest, we first need to convert all of the options into standard decimal form:

  1. 0.0062 - This is already in decimal form.
  2. 7.6 x 10^-2 = 0.076
  3. 2.4 x 10^3 = 2400
  4. 8,900 - This is already in decimal form.
  5. 1.2 x 10^4 = 12,000
  6. 5.5 x 10^4 = 55,000

Now we have the following numbers to compare:

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

Placing these numbers in order from least to greatest:

  1. 0.0062
  2. 0.076
  3. 2400
  4. 8900
  5. 12000
  6. 55000

So the final ordered list from least to greatest is:

0.0062, 7.6 x 10^-2, 2.4 x 10^3, 8,900, 1.2 x 10^4, 5.5 x 10^4.
