Solving (a): Inequality to compare both temperatures
From the given temperatures, we can conclude that:
or
Because
i.e. 1 is greater than -2
or
i.e. -2 is less than 1
Solving (b): Inequality to compare the absolute values of the temperatures
We have:
The absolute values are:
By comparison:
or
Because
i.e. 2 is greater than 1
or
i.e. 1 is less than 2
