Question 113

The table shows the lowest recorded temperatures for each continent. Write the continents in order from the lowest recorded temperature to the highest recorded temperature.
$\begin{array}{cc}& \\ \text{The Lowest Recorded Temperatures}& \\ \text{Continent}& \text{Temperature (in Fahrenheit)}\\ \text{Africa}& -{11}^o\\ \text{Antarctica}& -{129}^o\\ \text{Asia}& -{90}^o\\ \text{Australia}& -9^o\\ \text{Europe}& -{67}^o\\ \text{North America}& -{81}^o\\ \text{South America}& -{27}^o\end{array}$

Answer 1

Lowest to heights (ascending order) in a negative number, the number that has greater value of actually smaller and vice-versa.
So, accordingly, we arrange them in ascending order
Antarctica < Asia < North America < Europe < South America < Africa < Australia
$(-{129}^o)$ $(-{90}^o)$ $(-{81}^o)$ $(-{67}^o)$ $(-{27}^o)$ $(-{11}^o)$ $(-9^o)$
