Two students are playing a math game. The object of the game is to make the least possible number by arranging the given digits inside absolute value bars on a card. In the first round, each player will use the digits 3, 5, and 7 to fill in the card. What is the least possible number the card can show?

I'm not sure I understand, but I think the answer is 357. If your looking for the smallest 3 digit number using 3,5, and 7. Then you want to you the smallest digits first and the biggest digits last.
