Answer 1

-22°F > -27°F

Explanation:

Colorado Spring's lowest temperature = -27°F

Louis' lowest temperature = -22°F

comparing two negative numbers:

The lower a negative number, the higher the its value

comparing both temperatures:

-22°F has a lesser number than -27°F . But -22°F has a higher value compared to -27°F.

-22 is greater than -27

Hence, -22°F > -27°F
