Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. All numbers should be converted to a common form (either decimal or fraction) for easy comparison.
2. Percentages should be converted to their decimal equivalents.
3. Exponential forms should be evaluated to their decimal forms.

STEP 2

1. Convert all numbers to decimal form.
2. List the decimal forms of each number for comparison.
3. Order the decimal forms from least to greatest.

STEP 3

Convert 352 \frac{35}{2} to decimal form.
352=17.5 \frac{35}{2} = 17.5

STEP 4

Convert 83 8^3 to decimal form.
83=8×8×8=512 8^3 = 8 \times 8 \times 8 = 512

STEP 5

Convert 4.8×102 4.8 \times 10^2 to decimal form.
4.8×102=4.8×100=480 4.8 \times 10^2 = 4.8 \times 100 = 480

STEP 6

Convert 36 3^6 to decimal form.
36=3×3×3×3×3×3=729 3^6 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 729

STEP 7

Convert 1.7×103 1.7 \times 10^3 to decimal form.
1.7×103=1.7×1000=1700 1.7 \times 10^3 = 1.7 \times 1000 = 1700

STEP 8

Convert 51.2% 51.2\% to decimal form.
51.2%=51.2100=0.512 51.2\% = \frac{51.2}{100} = 0.512

STEP 9

List all the numbers in decimal form:
17.5, 512, 480, 729, 1700, 0.512 17.5, \ 512, \ 480, \ 729, \ 1700, \ 0.512

STEP 10

Order the decimal forms from least to greatest:
0.512, 17.5, 480, 512, 729, 1700 0.512, \ 17.5, \ 480, \ 512, \ 729, \ 1700
Solution: The numbers ordered from least to greatest are:
51.2%, 352, 4.8×102, 83, 36, 1.7×103 51.2\%, \ \frac{35}{2}, \ 4.8 \times 10^{2}, \ 8^3, \ 3^6, \ 1.7 \times 10^{3}
