During winter, Detroit is colder than Boston but warmer than Minneapolis. Which inequality correctly compares the winter tempera
Nat2105 [25]
We will take one given at a time, the common place is "Detroit", so we will take it as a reference.

1- Detroit is colder than Boston, this means that:
Temperature in Detroit < Temperature in Boston .........> I

2- Detroit is warmer that <span>Minneapolis, this means that:
Temperature is </span><span>Minneapolis < Temperature in Detroit .........> II

From I and II, we can conclude that:
</span><span>Minneapolis has the lowest temperature, followed by Detroit and then Boston.

Comparing this to the choices, we will find that the correct choice is:
</span><span>2. Minneapolis's temperature < Detroit's temperature < Boston's temperature</span>
