how do you write 62040, 6.2 x 10^2, 6207 x 10^3, 6.34 x 10^-1 in order from least to greatest?
----------
Get them all in the same form:
62040=6.2 x 10^4
6207 x10^3 = 6.207 x 10^3 x 10^3=6.207 x 10^6
--------
Now compare the powers of 10 from least to greatest:
6.34 x 10^-1 (given form)
6.2 x 10^ 2 (given form)
6.2 x 10^ 4 (that was 62040)
6.207x 10^ 6 (that was 6207 x 10^3)
----------
Cheers,
