Question

Which inequality best represents that ice cream at −2°C is cooler than ice cream at 4°C? A: −2°C < 4°C B: −2°C > 4°C C: −4°C > 2°C D: −4°C < −2°C

Answer 1

a

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: OPTION A.

Explanation:

For this exercise you need to remember the meaning of the inequalities symbols:

`<` → It means "Less than"

`>` → It means "Greater than"

`\leq` → It means "Less than or equal to"

`\geq` → It means "Greater than or equal to"

In this case you know that ice cream at
`-2\°C` is cooler than ice cream at
`4\°C`.

Since
`-2\°C` is negative, this tempereture is less than the temperature of
`4\°C`.

Therefore, you can conclude that the inequality best represents that ice cream at
`-2\°C` is cooler than ice cream at
`4\°C` is:

`-2\°C<4\°C`
