In order to find the lowest temperatures, you must first convert them into the same temperature scales. For example, you could convert 330 K and 48 C into Fahrenheit, like 64 F.

The formula for converting Celsius into Fahrenheit is: (Celsius x 1.8) + 32 .
In this case, the Celsius is 48. So, our equation would be, (48 x 1.8) + 32.
48 x 1.8= 86.4
86.4+32= 118.4
48 C = 118.4 F

Now, we need to convert 330 K into a Fahrenheit. The formula to turn Kelvin into Fahrenheit is: Fahrenheit = (Kelvin) 1.8 - 459.67 .
In this case, the Kelvin is 330. So, our equation would be: (330)1.8 - 459.67.
330 x 1.8= 594
594 - 459.67 = 134.33 F
330 K= 134.33 F

Now that all of the numbers are converted into the same temperature scale, you simply have to compare the numbers.

330 K = 134.33, 48 C = 118.4, 64
134.33>118.4
118.4>64

Your final answer would be 64 F.
