Question

Colorado Spring's lowest temperature is -27°F and St. Louis' lowest temperature is -22°F. Write the temperatures as a comparison, using >,

Answer 1

We are given the following information

Colorado Spring's lowest temperature = -27 °F

St. Louis' lowest temperature = -22 °F

We are asked to write the temperatures as a comparison (greater than or less than)

Recall that a less negative number is always greater than a more negative number.

So, -22 °F is greater than -27 °F

$-22\: \degree F>-27\: \degree F$

Therefore, St. Louis' lowest temperature (-22 °F) is greater than Colorado Spring's lowest temperature (-27 °F)
