Final answer:

Subtract 1,041 - 347 to get 694, then calculate the three expressions and order them: 138.8 (divided by 5), 694 (subtracted only), and 1,388 (multiplied by 2), from least to greatest.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked to order three expressions from least to greatest:

  1. 2 times (1,041 - 347)
  2. (1,041 - 347)
  3. (1,041 - 347) divided by 5

First, we need to perform the subtraction (1,041 - 347), which equals 694. Now we can evaluate each expression:

  • 2 times (1,041 - 347) is 2 times 694, which equals 1,388.
  • (1,041 - 347) is just 694.
  • (1,041 - 347) divided by 5 is 694 divided by 5, which equals 138.8.

Ordered from least to greatest:

  1. 138.8
  2. 694
  3. 1,388

As we can see, performing the calculations results in clear numerical values that we can compare and order.
