Question

Jesse recorded the temperatures at which two oils freeze: Oil Temperature Sesame oil −6.2 °C Peanut oil 3.1 °C Which statement about the temperatures at which these oils freeze is true? Sesame oil freezes at a higher temperature than peanut oil because −6.2 °C < 3.1 °C. Sesame oil freezes at a lower temperature than peanut oil because −6.2 °C < 3.1 °C. Sesame oil freezes at a higher temperature than peanut oil because −6.2 °C > 3.1 °C. Sesame oil freezes at a lower temperature than peanut oil because −6.2 °C > 3.1 °C. plzzz answer this for me ^w^

Answer 1

Answer: C. Sesame oil freezes at a lower temperature than peanut oil because −6.2 °C < 3.1 °C

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: C. Sesame oil freezes at a lower temperature than peanut oil because −6.2 °C < 3.1 °C

Explanation:

Given that:

Freezing point of sesame oil = - 6.2°C

Freezing point of peanut oil = 3.1°C

Comparing the two temperatures :

Freezing(when a substance turns to solid) usually occurs at low temperatures. The temperature of sesame oil(-6 2°C) is lower than that of peanut oil(3.1°C).

Hence, it can be concluded that Sesame oil freezes at lower temperature than peanut oil.

Mathematically,

-6.2°C < 3.1°C
