Final answer:

To arrange solutions in scientific notation from least to greatest, follow these steps: convert each solution to scientific notation, compare the exponents, and if needed, compare the coefficients.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arranging Solutions in Scientific Notation


To arrange solutions in scientific notation from least to greatest, follow these steps:

  1. Convert each solution to scientific notation if it is not already in that form.
  2. Compare the exponents of the solutions. The solution with the smallest exponent is the least.
  3. If two solutions have the same exponent, compare the coefficient. The solution with the smaller coefficient is the least.
  4. Continue comparing the remaining solutions until you have arranged them from least to greatest.


Example: If you have the solutions 5.3 x 10^2, 6.7 x 10^3, and 4.2 x 10^1, you would arrange them as 4.2 x 10^1, 5.3 x 10^2, 6.7 x 10^3.
