We have three numbers given in scientific notation:

We need to convert it to decimal:

The negative power means that we need to move the decimal point to the left.

6.5x10^-4 = 0.00065

5.2x10^-3 = 0.0052

8.1x10^-5 = 0.000081

Now, we can order least to greater.

1. 0.0052

2. 0.00065

3. 0.000081
