Question

7, -3, 12,-0.8, 0.8, −110, -2

1. Order the numbers from least to greatest. 2. If these numbers represent temperatures in degrees Celsius, which is the coldest?


3. If these numbers represent elevations, in meters, which is the farthest away from sea level?

Answer 1

1. - 110, - 3, - 2, - 0.8, 0.8, 7, and 12.

2. - 110°C

3. - 110 meters

Explanation:

We are given a few numbers and we have to arrange them in order from least to greatest.

1. The numbers are 7, - 3. 12, - 0.8, 0.8, - 110, - 2.

And the order is - 110, - 3, - 2, - 0.8, 0.8, 7, and 12.

2. If these numbers represent the temperature in degree Celsius, then - 110°C is the coldest.

3. If these numbers represent elevation, in meters, then the absolute values of these numbers are 7, 3, 12, 0.8, 0.8, 110, 2. Therefore, the greatest absolute value is 110.

Hence, - 110 meters is the farthest away from sea level and its downward. (Answer)
