Question

Leslie says that a temperature of -12 °C is colder than a temperature of -20 C because

1-12 <1-20). Is Leslie correct? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Leslie is NOT correct

Explanation:

Leslie thinks that the number closer to 0 that's in the negatives it smaller because the number is smaller. But actually, the number farther from 0 that's in the negatives is smaller. So, -12 °C is warmer than -20 °C
