Identify a temperature colder than - 7.2f. Write an inequality that relates the temperatures. Describe their positions on a horizontal number line.

Colder then - 7.2 F would be - 8.5 F

-7.2 > - 8.5

anything to the left of - 7.2 on the number line will be less then (oe in this case, colder then) - 7.2 ... so - 8.5 falls to the left of - 7.2
