Final answer:

To rank the given temperatures from the highest to the lowest, all temperatures are first converted to Kelvin, after which they can be easily compared and ranked as 146°C (419K), 351K, 133°F (328.7K), 95°F (308.2K), 25°C (298K), 58°F (286.8K), and 273K.

Step-by-step explanation:

To rank the temperatures from highest to lowest, we need to convert all temperatures to the same scale. First, we convert Fahrenheit and Celsius to Kelvin using these formulas: K = °C + 273 and K = (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273. Let's do the conversions:

  • 133°F = (133 - 32) × 5/9 + 273 ≈ 328.7K
  • 146°C = 146 + 273 = 419K
  • 25°C = 25 + 273 = 298K
  • 58°F = (58 -32) × 5/9 + 273 ≈ 286.8K
  • 95°F = (95 - 32) × 5/9 + 273 ≈ 308.2K

We don't need to convert 351K and 273K as they are already in Kelvin. Now we can rank the temperatures from highest to lowest:

  1. 146°C (419K)
  2. 351K
  3. 133°F (328.7K)
  4. 95°F (308.2K)
  5. 25°C (298K)
  6. 58°F (286.8K)
  7. 273K
