Question

Place the following temperatures in order from coldest to hottest: -8°C, 10°C, -5°F, 40°F

Answer 1

Answer:
`-5\°F,-8\°C,40\°F,10\°C`

Explanation:

It is important to remember these two temperature scales:

- The Fahrenheit Scale (°F).

- The Celsius Scale (°C).

To place the given temperatures in order from coldest to hottest, we can make the conversion from °F to °C. Then:

`(-5\°F*-32)*(5)/(9)=-20.5\°C\\\\(40\°F-32)*(5)/(9)=4.44\°C`

Knowing this, we can conclude that the order of the given temperatures from coldest to hottest is:

`-5\°F,-8\°C,40\°F,10\°C`
