Question

Put the numbers in order from least to greatest.

1.5 × 104, 2.6 × 10-2, 3.5 × 102, 6.2 × 10-1


A) 1.5 × 104, 2.6 × 10-2, 3.5 × 102, 6.2 × 10-1
B) 1.5 × 104, 3.5 × 102, 2.6 × 10-2, 6.2 × 10-1
C) 2.6 × 10-2, 6.2 × 10-1, 3.5 × 102, 1.5 × 104
D) 2.6 × 10-2, 104, 6.2 × 10-1, 3.5 × 102, 1.5 × 104

Answer 1

1.5 x 10⁴ = 15,000

2.6 x 10⁻² = 0.026

3.5 x 10² = 350

6.2 x 10⁻¹ = 0.62

Order from least to greatest is: 0.026 < 0.62 < 350 < 15,000

2.6 x 10⁻² , 6.2 x 10⁻¹ , 3.5 x 10², 1.5 x 10⁴
