a.
-5°F, -8°C, 40°F, 10°C
b.
-5°F, -8°C, 10°C, 40°F
c.
-8°C, -5°F, 10°C, 40°F
d.
-8°C, -5°F, 40°F, 10°C
ANSWER IS A

Answer 1

a. -5°F, -8°C, 40°F, 10°C

Explanation:

-17°C is when F = 0, so -8°C is way higher than -5°F. -8°C comes right after, and 40°F is a bit lower than 10°C. You can convert F to C is °F = (C * 9/5) + 32 and you can convert C to F with (F -32) x 5/9
