Question

Place these numbers in order from least to greatest:
a) 57.4×10^{4} b) 5.11×10^{5}

c) 0.17×10^{6} d) 7.3×10^{5}

Answer 1

●Before arranging them we must represent them in the scientific notation.

For (a)

$57.4 \times {10}^{4} = 5.74 \times {10}^{5}$

For (b) it is in the correct scientific notation ✔

Now, for (c)

$0.17 \times {10}^{6} =1 .7 \times {10}^{5}$

And as for (d) it is too in the required form.

➡️Now comparing them we can arrange them as:-

c < b < a < d
