Question

a local radio station predicted temperatures for the next 5 days in international falls, minnesota. patricia recorded the temperatures in the list below. -2°f 13°f 5°f 0°f -9°f which list shows the temperatures in order from warmest to coldest? 13°f, -9°f, -2°f, 5°f, 0°f 13°f, 5°f, -2°f, -9°f, 0°f 13°f, 5°f, -9°f, -2°f, 0°f 13°f, 5°f, 0°f, -2°f, -9°f

Explanation:

Step1: Recall number - order rule

Positive numbers are greater than zero, and zero is greater than negative numbers. Among negative numbers, the one with a smaller absolute - value is greater.

Step2: Compare given temperatures

We have the temperatures: $13^{\circ}F$ (positive and the largest), $5^{\circ}F$ (positive), $0^{\circ}F$, $- 2^{\circ}F$ (negative), $-9^{\circ}F$ (negative with larger absolute - value than $-2^{\circ}F$).

Answer:

$13^{\circ}F,5^{\circ}F,0^{\circ}F, - 2^{\circ}F,-9^{\circ}F$
