Question

A meteorologist recorded the temperature outside of his weather studio for two days. The first day the temperature was −3.1° Celsius. The second day the temperature was 1.2° Celsius. Which temperature is less than both of the temperatures the meteorologist recorded?
5.1 degrees,
Celsius 5.5° ,
Celsius 0° ,
−2.9° Celsius

Answer 1

None of the options is less than both temperatures the meteorologist recorded

How to find the temperature that is less than both temperatures?

Since the first day the temperature was −3.1° Celsius. The second day the temperature was 1.2° Celsius.

For a temperature to be less than both temperatures, it has to be less than the lowest temperature which is −3.1° Celsius. Since −3.1° Celsius is less than  1.2° Celsius.

Now comparing both numbers with the the given options.

Option 1 : 5.1 °Celsius

We see that 5.1° Celsisus is greater than  -3.1° Celsius.

So, this option is wrong

Option 2 : 5.5 degrees Celsius

We see that 5.5° Celsisus is greater than  -3.1° Celsius.

So, this option is wrong

Option 3 : 0 °Celsius

We see that 0° Celsisus is greater than  -3.1° Celsius.

So, this option is wrong

Option 4 : -2.9° Celsius

We see that -2.9° Celsisus is greater than  -3.1° Celsius.

So, this option is wrong

So, none of the options is less than both temperatures the meteorologist recorded
