Question

Which inequality best represents that ice cream at −2°C is cooler than ice cream at 3°C? Group of answer choices −3°C > 2°C −3°C < 2°C 3°C > −2°C 3°C < −2°C

Answer 1

Answer:

3°C > - 2°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Ice cream 1 = - 2°C

Ice cream 2 = 3°C

Lower temperatures are colder (cooler) than higher temperature values.

Hence, ice cream at - 2°C is cooler than ice cream at 3°C.

Hence, a temperature of 3°C is higher (greater) than - 2°C. Hence - 2°C is cooler (colder) than 3°C

Hence,

3°C > - 2°C
