Answer:

58 °F , 20 °F , 11 °F , 2 °F , -2 °F , -5 °F.

Explanation:

The biggest positive numbers go first including, 58, 20, and 11.

From there it may get confusing.

2 > -2 this is because 2 is a positive and -2 is a negative. Negative numbers are numbers that are behind zero. Whereas positive numbers are in front of zero.

-2 > -5 normally 5 would be greater than 2. However, negative numbers are backwards. Picture a number line, where positive numbers are going forward...negative numbers are going backwards.

Hope this helps! :)
