Drag each tile to the correct box.

\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|}

To determine the order of the metamorphic rocks from highest grade to lowest grade, considering both the heat and pressure required for their formation, let's first calculate a combined metric for each rock by adding the required heat and pressure values.

Given data:
- Rock 1: Heat = 300°C, Pressure = 6 kilobars
- Rock 2: Heat = 1000°C, Pressure = 18 kilobars
- Rock 3: Heat = 600°C, Pressure = 9 kilobars
- Rock 4: Heat = 100°C, Pressure = 5 kilobars

Total metric calculation:
- For Rock 1: [tex]\( 300 + 6 = 306 \)[/tex]
- For Rock 2: [tex]\( 1000 + 18 = 1018 \)[/tex]
- For Rock 3: [tex]\( 600 + 9 = 609 \)[/tex]
- For Rock 4: [tex]\( 100 + 5 = 105 \)[/tex]

Now, let's order these rocks from highest to lowest total metric:
- Rock 2: 1018
- Rock 3: 609
- Rock 1: 306
- Rock 4: 105

Thus, the order from highest grade to lowest grade is:

1. Rock 2
2. Rock 3
3. Rock 1
4. Rock 4

So, the arrangement is as follows:
1. Rock 2
2. Rock 3
3. Rock 1
4. Rock 4

By arranging the tiles accordingly, we get:
```
Tile: Box:
rock 2 Box 1
rock 3 Box 2
rock 1 Box 3
rock 4 Box 4
```
