Tristan Robles · Answer 1

D = A < D < B < C

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 4.6 x 10-4

Can be written as,

= 0.00046

B = 2.4 x 10-3

Can be written in this form,

= 0.0024

C = 3.5 x 105

Is written as,

350000

D = 6.3 x 10-4

Is also written as,

= 0.00063

A and D are in 4 decimal places and therefore from the 3th decimal place 46 is less than 63 so therefore 0.00046 is less than 0.00063.

B is greater than A and D because B which is 0.0024 is in 3 decimal places. C which is 35000 is the greatest because there are no decimal places and it is in tenth thousand.

So therefore,

A < D < B < C
