To arrange the numbers in ascending order, we need to compare them.
Let's convert all numbers to decimals for easier comparison:
- \(0.000325\)
- \(0.00225\)
- \(0.00125\)
- \(0.00325\)
In decimal form, these are:
- \(0.000325\)
- \(0.00125\)
- \(0.00225\)
- \(0.00325\)
Now, let's list them in ascending order:
- \(0.000325\)
- \(0.00125\)
- \(0.00225\)
- \(0.00325\)
Now let's look at the second set given in scientific notation:
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00325\)
- \(2.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00225\)
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-4} = 0.000325\)
- \(1.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00125\)
In decimal form, they are:
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-4} = 0.000325\)
- \(1.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00125\)
- \(2.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00225\)
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.00325\)
In ascending order, we have:
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-4}\)
- \(1.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
- \(2.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
- \(3.25 \times 10^{-3}\)
Now, let's check the last option as well:
\(0.00125, 0.00225, 0.000325, 0.00325\) is not in ascending order because \(0.000325\) should come first.
Thus, the set that is arranged in ascending order is:
3.25 × 10−4, 1.25 × 10−3, 2.25 × 10−3, 3.25 × 10−3.
