A scientist records the temperature of three different mixtures as -33.625℉, -33 5/6℉, and -33 6/25℉. What is the order from least to greatest temperature of the mixtures?

Answer: To determine the order of the temperature of the mixtures from least to greatest, we need to compare the values of the temperatures in their simplified fractional forms.

-33.625℉ = -33 5/8℉

-33 5/6℉ = -33 5/6℉

-33 6/25℉ = -33 24/100℉

We can compare the fractions by comparing the numerators, if they are the same we can compare the denominators.

So, the order from least to greatest temperature of the mixtures is:

-33 6/25℉ < -33 5/6℉ < -33 5/8℉

It's important to notice that these temperatures are negative.
