The problem asks to arrange the temperatures from three days in January based on the following conditions:

1. The temperatures on Monday and Tuesday were opposites.
2. The temperature on Wednesday was neither positive nor negative.
3. The temperature dropped below zero on Monday.

### Analysis:
- Monday's temperature is **negative** because it dropped below zero.
- Tuesday's temperature is the **opposite** of Monday's, meaning it is **positive**.
- Wednesday's temperature is **neither positive nor negative**, so it must be **zero**.

### Conclusion:
- Tuesday has the **highest** temperature (positive).
- Wednesday has a temperature of **zero**.
- Monday has the **lowest** temperature (negative).

### Order from highest to lowest temperature:
1. **Tuesday** (positive)
2. **Wednesday** (zero)
3. **Monday** (negative)

Would you like any more details or have any questions?

Here are five related questions:
1. What would the temperatures be if Tuesday was 5°C?
2. How would the order change if Monday’s temperature was positive?
3. Can you give another example of two opposite temperatures?
4. How do opposite temperatures compare on a number line?
5. What real-life factors might cause temperatures to be opposites?

**Tip:** Opposite numbers have the same magnitude but different signs. For example, +4 and -4 are opposites.

Ted is comparing the temperatures of three days in January. The temperatures on Monday and Tuesday were opposites. The temperature on Wednesday was neither positive nor negative. The temperature dropped below zero on Monday. Write the 3 days in order from the highest to the lowest temperature.
