PLEASE HELP ME
Which number can be inserted into the parentheses to make a true statement? - 10˚c < ( )
a - 12˚c
b - 18˚c
c - 3˚c
d - 10˚c
Think of the number line...
-18, -12, -10, -3
So which number is -10 less than?
Hint: it is greater than -18 and ...
As you move to the RIGHT on the number line the numbers get BIGGER : )
Let me know what your answer is... and I can check it for you : )
c.
- 3 ˚c
On the number line the negative numbers are to the left of zero.
- 12 ˚c and - 18 ˚c are less than - 10 ˚c.
hmmmm.... perhaps give suggestions for learning to take place.... not answers....
To determine which number can be inserted into the parentheses to make a true statement, you need to understand the concept of inequality symbols and compare the given options.
The inequality symbol "<" represents "less than." In this case, the given statement is "-10˚C < ( )". So, we need to find a number that is less than -10˚C.
Let's compare the given options:
a) -12˚C: This is less than -10˚C since it has a lower value.
b) 18˚C: This is greater than -10˚C since it has a higher value.
c) 3˚C: This is greater than -10˚C since it has a higher value.
d) 10˚C: This is equal to -10˚C, not less than it.
Based on the comparisons, the number that can be inserted into the parentheses to make a true statement is option a) -12˚C.
Oh sorry Bosnian! At first I didn't see your carefully worded explanation : ) Which does Molly with her understanding.
So sorry!
