The record for low temperatures in five cities are listed in the table below.
 
**Cities**

**Temperature**

Lansing

-23

Chicago

-28

Sioux Falls

-15

Duluth

-20

Buffalo

-34


Rank the states in order from warmest temperature to coldest temperature.

A.Buffalo, Chicago, Lansing, Duluth, Sioux Falls

B.Sioux Falls, Lansing, Duluth, Chicago, Buffalo

C.Chicago, Buffalo, Sioux Falls, Lansing, Duluth

D.Sioux Falls, Duluth, Lansing, Chicago, Buffalo


To rank the cities from the warmest to the coldest temperature, we should list the temperatures from the highest (closest to zero) to the lowest (farthest from zero). 

Here are the temperatures for the cities:

- Lansing: \(-23^\circ\)
- Chicago: \(-28^\circ\)
- Sioux Falls: \(-15^\circ\)
- Duluth: \(-20^\circ\)
- Buffalo: \(-34^\circ\)

Now, let's order these from warmest to coldest:

1. **Sioux Falls**: \(-15^\circ\) (warmest)
2. **Duluth**: \(-20^\circ\)
3. **Lansing**: \(-23^\circ\)
4. **Chicago**: \(-28^\circ\)
5. **Buffalo**: \(-34^\circ\) (coldest)

The correct ranking is:

**B. Sioux Falls, Lansing, Duluth, Chicago, Buffalo**

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:
1. If another city had a record low of \(-25^\circ\), where would it rank on the list?
2. Which city has the second warmest temperature?
3. Arrange the cities in order from coldest to warmest.
4. If the temperature in Lansing was \(-30^\circ\), how would the order change?
5. What is the difference between the warmest and coldest temperatures?

**Tip:** When ranking temperatures, remember that on the negative scale, a number closer to zero is warmer.
