Answer 1

To list the low tides from lowest to highest, we need to examine the low tide heights provided in the table:

- February 7, 1:26 a.m. - 2.6 ft (low)
- February 7, 2:29 p.m. - -0.8 ft (low)
- February 8, 2:24 a.m. - 1.5 ft (low)
- February 8, 3:16 p.m. - -1.6 ft (low)

Now, we can list the low tide heights:
- -0.8 ft
- 2.6 ft
- 1.5 ft
- -1.6 ft

Next, we will order them from lowest to highest:

1. -1.6 ft
2. -0.8 ft
3. 1.5 ft
4. 2.6 ft

So, the list of low tides from lowest to highest is:
**–1.6, –0.8, 1.5, 2.6**
