Which inequality best represents that ice cream at −2°C is cooler than ice cream at 4°C? A: −2°C < 4°C B: −2°C > 4°C C: −4°C > 2°C D: −4°C < −2°C

Respuesta :

Answer: OPTION A.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you need to remember the meaning of the inequalities symbols:

[tex]<[/tex] → It means "Less than"

[tex]>[/tex] → It means "Greater than"

[tex]\leq[/tex] → It means "Less than or equal to"

[tex]\geq[/tex] → It means "Greater than or equal to"

In this case you know that  ice cream at [tex]-2\°C[/tex] is cooler than ice cream at [tex]4\°C[/tex].

Since  [tex]-2\°C[/tex]  is negative, this tempereture is less than the temperature of [tex]4\°C[/tex].

Therefore, you can conclude that the inequality best represents that  ice cream at [tex]-2\°C[/tex] is cooler than ice cream at [tex]4\°C[/tex] is:

[tex]-2\°C<4\°C[/tex]
