City R has a temperature of −2 °F. City S has a temperature of −6 °F.

Use the number line shown to answer the questions:

Part A: Write an inequality to compare the temperatures of the two cities. (3 points)

Part B: Explain what the inequality means in relation to the positions of these numbers on the number line. (4 points)

Part C: Use the number line to explain which city is warmer. (3 points)

NO LINKS PLEASE City R Has A Temperature Of 2 F City S Has A Temperature Of 6 F Use The Number Line Shown To Answer The Questions Part A Write An Inequality To class=

Sagot :

part a: –2°F > –6°F

part b: the inequality is representing the temperatures of city R and city S, comparing the difference in their temperatures.

part c: (marking city R at –2 on the number line and marking city S at –6 on the number line), using the number line to show the values of the city temperatures, city R is warmer because it is closer to 0 while city S is farther from zero and in the case that these are negative temperatures, the temperature closest to zero is the warmest.

Part A -2 > -6

Part B- this is an inequality because it is comparing the temperature difference. -2 is greater than -6 because it is a warmer temperature. The higher the negative number the colder it is, the lower the negative number is or the closer

Part C- City R is warmer because it is -2 degrees F and the other city is -6F. The closer you get to zero when working with negative numbers the bigger the number is. This is because number lines read from left to right, just like a book. -2 is warmer than -6 because it is closer to zero and it is closer to become a positive number than -6 is.

Hope this helps!
