Answer 1

2.6 × 10-2, 6.2 × 10-1, 3.5 × 102, 1.5 × 104 is the answer took the test got a 100

Answer 2

Answer:- C is the right option

Explanation:-

Rewrite the given numbers in usual form

$1.5\times10^4=1.5\times10000=15000$

$2.6\times10^{-2}=2.6\times\frac{1}{100}=0.026$

$3.5\times10^2=3.5\times100=350$

$6.2\times10^{-1}=6.2\times\frac{1}{10}=0.62$

The numbers in order from least to greatest

$\rightarrow0.026,0.62,350,15000$

OR

$2.6\times10^{-2},6.2\times10^{-1},3.5\times10^2,1.5\times10^4$

∴ C is the right option.
