Question

Which inequality best represents that ice cream at −3°C is cooler than ice cream at 1°C?

A)−3°C > 1°C
B)−3°C < 1°C
C)1°C > 3°C
D)1°C < −3°C

Answer 1

Letter B is stating that -3 degrees C is less than 1 degree C

Answer 2

B)-3°C < 1°C

Explanation:

Since, the symbols of inequality are,

'>' more than

'<' less than

If we say something is cooler than it means it is lesser than other according to its temperature,

That is, ice cream -3°C is cooler than ice cream at 1°C,

⇒ temperature -3° C is less than temperature 1°C

⇒ -3° C < 1°C

Which is the required inequality,

Option 'B' is correct.
