One winter morning the temperature was -3 degrees Celsius. By noon, the temperature was 2 degrees Celsius. By midnight, the temperature was -1 degrees Celsius.

Order the temperatures from least to greatest.

1) -3 degrees Celsius, -1 degrees Celsius, 2 degrees Celsius
2) -1 degrees Celsius, 2 degrees Celsius, -3 degrees Celsius
3) -3 degrees Celsius, 2 degrees Celsius, -1 degrees Celsius
4) -1 degrees Celsius, -3 degrees Celsius, 2 degrees Celsius

Answer :

Final answer:

The temperatures on the Celsius scale should be ordered from the coldest to the warmest. The correct sequence is -3 degrees Celsius, -1 degrees Celsius, and then 2 degrees Celsius.

The correct answer is 1

Explanation:

The question involves ordering temperatures on the Celsius scale from least to greatest. In the Celsius temperature scale, lower numbers indicate colder temperatures. Therefore, the correct order from least (coldest) to greatest (warmest) for the given temperatures should start with the lowest temperature value and ascend to the highest.

In this scenario, -3 degrees Celsius is colder than -1 degrees Celsius, and both are colder than 2 degrees Celsius.

  1. -3 degrees Celsius
  2. -1 degrees Celsius
  3. 2 degrees Celsius

Thus, the correct answer is: 1) -3 degrees Celsius, -1 degrees Celsius, 2 degrees Celsius.

The correct answer is 1
