Question

the coldest temperature ever recorded in france is -41.8°f. the coldest temperature ever recorded in switzerland is -43.2°f. which countrys coldest temperature is lower? france switzerland

Explanation:

Step1: Compare the two negative - temperatures

We know that when comparing two negative numbers, the number with the larger absolute - value is actually the smaller number. The absolute value of - 41.8 is $|-41.8| = 41.8$, and the absolute value of - 43.2 is $|-43.2|=43.2$. Since $43.2>41.8$, we have $-43.2 < - 41.8$.

Answer:

Switzerland
