The following temperatures occurred on four consecutive days in March: 3°C, −5°C, 4°C, −2°C. Use inequality symbols to show the order of these temperatures from coldest to warmest.(1 point)
-5°C < -2°C < 3°C < 4°C
To show the order of these temperatures from coldest to warmest using inequality symbols, we can compare the temperatures in pairs.
Comparing the first two temperatures:
-5°C < 3°C
Comparing the second and third temperatures:
3°C < 4°C
Comparing the third and fourth temperatures:
4°C > -2°C
So, the temperatures in order from coldest to warmest using inequality symbols would be:
-5°C < 3°C < 4°C > -2°C
