Over the last week, the daily low temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit have been −2, 6.9, 17 1 2 , −5.1, 24, − 1 4 , and 1.45. List these numbers in order from greatest to least.

24 > 17 1/2 > 6.9 > 2 > 1.45 > - 1/4 > - 5.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following temperature values :

2, 6.9, 17 1/2 , −5.1, 24, − 1/4 , and 1.45.

Ordering the values above from greatest to least ; (descending order)

Expressing all temperature values in the same format :

Let's make sure all values are in decimal to make comparison easier :

2.0

6.9

17 1/2 = 35/2 = 17.5

-5.1

24.0

-1/4 = - 0.25

1.45

We begin from the temperature value which is highest :

24 > 17.5 > 6.9 > 2.0 > 1.45 > - 0.25 > - 5.1

Hence ;

24 > 17 1/2 > 6.9 > 2 > 1.45 > - 1/4 > - 5.1
