Question

The average temperature in one season at the North Pole is -76 degrees F, and in another season at the same location, it is -18 degrees F. Which inequality expresses the situation above? -76 degrees F < -18 degrees F-76 degrees F > -18 degrees F 76 degrees F > 18 degrees F 76 degrees F < 18 degrees F

Answer 1

The inequality that expresses this situation is shown below;

`-76\text{ degrees F}<-18\text{ degrees F}`

That is read out as, "minus seventy six degrees fahrenheit is less than minus eighteen degrees fahrenheit."
