Question

The temperatures recorded at three different times on a november day in fairbanks, alaska were -2 -5 -12. Which inequality correctly compares thease temperatures

Answer 1

Answer:

$-12 < -5 < -2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Temperature = \{-2, -5,-12\}$

Required

Represent as an inequality

On a number line:

-12 comes before -2 and -5

-5 comes before -2

This means that:

-12 is smaller than  -5 and -5 is smaller than -2.

So, we have:

$-12 < -5$ and $-5 < -2$

Combine both inequalities

$-12 < -5 < -2$
