b) - 1150 or 1125
c) 22 731 or 29 001
- arrange these numbers in ascending order:
a) 110°c, - 95°c, 28°c, - 112°c
b) 201 m, 60 m, - 18 m, - 48 m, 0 m
- arrange these numbers in descending order
a) 391 cm, - 435 cm, 612 cm, - 284 cm
Question 1
Part (a)
Step1: Understand positive temperature
A temperature of twenty - three degrees celsius is a positive value.
So the integer is $23$.
Part (b)
Step1: Understand below freezing (negative)
Freezing point of water is $0^{\circ}C$. A temperature fifty - one degrees celsius below freezing means it is a negative value.
So the integer is $- 51$.
Part (c)
Step1: Understand above sea level (positive)
Two thousand four hundred metres above sea level is a positive value.
$2400$ (since two thousand four hundred is written as $2400$)
Part (d)

Step1: Recall the order of negative and positive numbers
Descending order means from largest to smallest. Positive numbers are greater than negative numbers. Among positive numbers, $612>391$. Among negative numbers, the one with the smaller absolute value is greater. The absolute value of $-284$ is $284$ and the absolute value of $-435$ is $435$. Since $284<435$, $-284 > - 435$. So the descending order is $612\mathrm{cm},391\mathrm{cm},-284\mathrm{cm},-435\mathrm{cm}$
