Question

The temperature in Colorado was 2.9℉ on Monday and -4.2℉ on Tuesday. Which temperature in degrees F is less than both of the temperatures on Monday and Tuesday?

Answer 1

`T < -4.2`

Explanation:

Given

`Monday =2.9F`

`Tuesday = -4.2F`

Required

Which is lesser than both temperatures

I will answer on general terms, since no option were given.

For a temperature to be lesser than both temperatures, it has to be lesser than -4.2F because: -4/2F < 2.9

Let T be the temperature less than both, the inequality is:

`T < -4.2`

So, the values of T can be -5,, -4.5 and so on.
