Explanation:

Numbers are symbols we use to express quantities or measure something. In this context, each number represents a specific quantity and the higher the number is, the more quantity it represents. For example, 2 apples represent a smaller quantity than 20 apples. This applies to positive numbers that go from 0 to the infinite. Besides this, there are negative numbers that are the opposite of positive numbers as they represent amounts that are below zero this are organized as 0, -1, -2, -3, etc. which means in negative numbers the larger the number the smaller quantity it represents.

This implies, in the case of the temperatures provided that represent the quantity of heat in a zone during a day, the coolest temperature is -12 F because this is the highest negative number from the list and therefore the number that represents the smallest quantity, considering 2F° is the highest temperature, and this is followed by -7° F, -8° F and finally -12°F.
