During winter, Detroit is colder than Boston but warmer than Minneapolis. Which inequality correctly compares the winter temperatures of the three cities?

1. Detroit temperature's < Boston's temperature < Minneapolis's temperature

2. Minneapolis's temperature < Detroit's temperature < Boston's temperature

3. Boston's temperature < Minneapolis's temperature < Detroit's temperature

4. Detroit's temperature < Minneapolis's temperature < Boston's temperature

We will take one given at a time, the common place is "Detroit", so we will take it as a reference.

1 - Detroit is colder than Boston, this means that:

Temperature in Detroit I

2 - Detroit is warmer that Minneapolis, this means that:

Temperature is Minneapolis II

From I and II, we can conclude that:

Minneapolis has the lowest temperature, followed by Detroit and then Boston.

Comparing this to the choices, we will find that the correct choice is:

2. Minneapolis's temperature < Detroit's temperature < Boston's temperature
