          2.  Each week, movies are ranked based on ticket sales. The top movies for one week are listed in the table
            showing the change in position from previous week. Which movie had the greatest absolute change?

               Movie                  A         B         C          D         E         F         G

          3.  If a and b are two integers such that a is the predecessor of b, then find the value of a – b.

          4.  The table shows the freezing point of various elements:

                Element                Chlorine       Helium       Krypton        Neon         Nitrogen
                Freezing Point (°C)      –101          –272          –157         –249          –201

            (a) Order the temperatures from the least to the greatest.
            (b) Is the absolute value of the freezing point of chlorine greater than or less than the absolute value of
                freezing point of neon?

        There are different planets having different surface temperature in our solar system. Planet, farther from the
        sun, becomes colder. Venus is the exception and the hottest planet. The table below shows mean temperature of
        different planets in Celsius. Convert these temperatures into Fahrenheit by using the formula given below:
                           9 C
                       F =     + 32
                           5
        Where F represents the temperature in degree Fahrenheit and C represents the temperature in degree Celsius.
