Question

Place the following temperatures in order from coldest to hottest: -8°C, 10°C, -5°F, 40°F
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 1

Convert the Fahrenheit values to Celsius:
- -5°F = (-5−32)×5/9 = −37×5/9 ≈ −20.56°C
- 40°F = (40−32)×5/9 = 8×5/9 ≈ 4.44°C

Ordering from coldest to hottest: −20.56°C (−5°F), −8°C, 4.44°C (40°F), 10°C — option a.
