Question

Write the following numbers in ascending order.

$0.0025, 1.42 \times 10^{4}, 9.83 \times 10^{- 4}, 7.8 \times 10^{3}, 302 \times 10^{- 6}, 14, 2.876 \times 10^{2}$

Accepted Answer

Given numbers are,

$0.0025, 1.42 \times 10^{4}, 9.83 \times 10^{- 4}, 7.8 \times 10^{3}, 302 \times 10^{- 6}, 14, 2.876 \times 10^{2}$

The numbers can be represented in scientific notation using a decimal number between $1$ and $10$ , multiplied by the appropriate power of $10$ . So,

$2.5 \times 10^{- 3}, 1.42 \times 10^{4}, 9.83 \times 10^{- 4}, 7.8 \times 10^{3}, 3.02 \times 10^{- 4}, 1.4 \times 10, 2.876 \times 10^{2}$

Now let us arrange the numbers from smallest to largest,

$3.02 \times 10^{- 4}, 9.83 \times 10^{- 4}, 2.5 \times 10^{- 3}, 1.4 \times 10, 2.876 \times 10^{2}, 7.8 \times 10^{3}, 1.42 \times 10^{4}$

Therefore, the ascending order of the given numbers is

$302 \times 10^{- 6}, 9.83 \times 10^{- 4}, 0.0025, 14, 2.876 \times 10^{2}, 7.8 \times 10^{3}, 1.42 \times 10^{4}$
