Question

How do you put the following in ascending order `0.017 times 10^3, 1.7%, 0, 1.7 times 10^-4, 10^3`?

Answer 1

`0, 1.7xx10^-4, 1.7%, 0.017xx10^3, 10^3`

Explanation:

`1.7xx10^-4=0.00017`

`1.7%=0.0.017` (if we treat it as a number, rather than a percentage).

`0.017xx10^3=0.017xx1000=17`

`10^3=10xx10xx10=1000`
