Question

(03.05 MC) Daisy recorded the temperatures at which two oils freeze: Oil Temperature Cottonseed oil –48.1 °C Palm oil 24.1 °C Which statement about the temperatures at which these oils freeze is true? (1 point) Select one: a. Cottonseed oil freezes at a lower temperature than palm oil because –48.1 °C < 24.1 °C. b. Cottonseed oil freezes at a higher temperature than palm oil because –48.1 °C > 24.1 °C. c. Cottonseed oil freezes at a lower temperature than palm oil because –48.1 °C > 24.1 °C. d. Cottonseed oil freezes at a higher temperature than palm oil because –48.1 °C < 24.1 °C.

Answer 1

a. Cottonseed oil freezes at a lower temperature than palm oil because –48.1 °C < 24.1 °C

Explanation:

–48.1 °C is lower than 24.1 °C since it lies on the negative side of the number line. Thus, Cottonseed oil freezes at a lower temperature than palm oil

Answer 2

a. Cottonseed oil freezes at a lower temperature than palm oil because –48.1 °C < 24.1 °C

Explanation:

–48.1 °C is lower than 24.1 °C since it lies on the negative side of the number line. Thus, Cottonseed oil freezes at a lower temperature than palm oil
