Question

Represent each of these temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit with a positive or negative number. 5 degrees above zero 3 degrees below zero 6 degrees above zero 234 2 3 4 degrees below zero Order the temperatures above from the coldest to the warmest.

Answer 1

5 degrees above Zero = greater than 0 = + 5

3 degrees below Zero = less than 0 = - 3

6 degrees above Zero = greater Than 0 = + 6

2 3/4 degree below Zero = less than 0 = - 2 3/4

-3 ; - 2 3/4 ; + 5 ; + 6

Explanation:

5 degrees above Zero = greater than 0 = + 5

3 degrees below Zero = less than 0 = - 3

6 degrees above Zero = greater Than 0 = + 6

2 3/4 degree below Zero = less than 0 = - 2 3/4

The least temperature value implies the coldest while the highest implies the warmest :

Therefore.

Least temperature = - 3 ; then - 2 3/4 ; then + 5 ; then + 6

-3 ; - 2 3/4 ; + 5 ; + 6
