Question

(GIVING OUT BRAINLIEST!) Which inequality best represents that ice cream at −3°C is cooler than ice cream at 1°C?
1. −3°C > 1°C

2. −3°C < 1°C

3. 1°C > 3°C

4. 1°C < 3°C

Answer 1

Answer:

1. -3C > 1C

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because -3 will freeze the ice cream more.. as it is in a lesser degree

Answer 2

Answer:

2. - 3°C < 1°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Although there are contexts when it feels natural to say greater even though what we mean is greater in magnitude (i.e. greater in absolute value), everyday thermometry is not one of those contexts, and the usual mathematical convention applies.

We would say that -3°C is lower than -1°C or, equivalently, less than -1°C.

(-3°C < -1°C)

Conversely, -1°C is higher than -3°C or, equivalently, greater than -3°C.

(-1°C > -3°C)
