Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Option A

 $1.\rightarrow 5.4 \times 10^4=5.4 \times 10000\\\\=54000$

$2.\rightarrow 5.4 \times 10^3=5.4 \times 1000\\\\=5400$

$3.\rightarrow 4.5 \times 10^4=4.5 \times 10000\\\\=45000$

Option B

 $1.\rightarrow 5.4 \times 10^3=5.4 \times 1000\\\\=5400$

$2.\rightarrow 5.4 \times 10^4=5.4 \times 10000\\\\=54000$

$3.\rightarrow 4.5 \times 10^4=4.5 \times 10000\\\\=45000$

Option C

 $1.\rightarrow 5.4 \times 10^3=5.4 \times 1000\\\\=5400$

$2.\rightarrow 4.5 \times 10^4=4.5 \times 10000\\\\=45000$

$3.\rightarrow 5.4 \times 10^4=5.4 \times 10000\\\\=54000$

Option D

 $1.\rightarrow 4.5 \times 10^4=4.5 \times 10000\\\\=45000$

$2.\rightarrow 5.4 \times 10^3=5.4 \times 1000\\\\=5400$

$3.\rightarrow 5.4 \times 10^4=5.4 \times 10000\\\\=54000$

⇒Option C ,shows number and exponents from least to greatest.
