Problem Description:
The task is to write the given numbers in order, starting with the smallest. The numbers provided are:
- 431
- 628
- 235
- 506
- 273
- 435
- 506
- 678
Solution Approach:
To solve this problem, we need to:
1. Identify all the numbers provided.
2. Compare them to determine their relative sizes.
3. Arrange them in ascending order (from smallest to largest).
Step-by-Step Solution:
#### Step 1: List the Numbers
The numbers given are:
\[ 431, \, 628, \, 235, \, 506, \, 273, \, 435, \, 506, \, 678 \]
#### Step 2: Compare and Order
We will compare the numbers and arrange them in ascending order.
1.
Smallest Number: Start by identifying the smallest number.
- Comparing \( 235, \, 273, \, 431, \, 435, \, 506, \, 506, \, 628, \, 678 \), the smallest is \( 235 \).
2.
Next Smallest: Find the next smallest number after \( 235 \).
- The next smallest is \( 273 \).
3.
Continue Comparing:
- After \( 273 \), the next smallest is \( 431 \).
- Then comes \( 435 \).
- Next is \( 506 \). Note that there are two \( 506 \)s, so both will be included in this position.
- Following \( 506 \) is \( 628 \).
- Finally, the largest number is \( 678 \).
#### Step 3: Write the Ordered List
The numbers in ascending order are:
\[ 235, \, 273, \, 431, \, 435, \, 506, \, 506, \, 628, \, 678 \]
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{235, 273, 431, 435, 506, 506, 628, 678}
\]
