Verified Answer :

This is the list of the numbers from least to greatest:
2.8x10^-5

2.8x10^-3

2.8

2.8x10^2

2.8x10^4

Answer:

\(2.8\times 10^{-5},2.8\times 10^{-3},2.8, 2.8\times 10^2,2.8\times 10^4,\)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given several numbers and we are asked to order them in least to greatest order.

Given numbers: \(2.8, 2.8\times 10^2,2.8\times 10^{-3},2.8\times 10^4,2.8\times 10^{-5}\)

We know that the number with negative power will be smaller than the number with positive powers.

We can see from our given numbers that \(2.8\times 10^{-5}\) has a negative power. We can rewrite this as \(2.8\times \frac{1}{10^5}\). This will be the smallest number.

Upon arranging our given number from least to greatest we will get,

\(2.8\times 10^{-5},2.8\times 10^{-3},2.8, 2.8\times 10^2,2.8\times 10^4,\)
