B. The temperature was colder in Macon than
Atlanta.
C. The temperature in Savannah was

colder than the temperature in Coleville.
D. It was warmer in Savannah than in

Engage

1. absolute value: the distance a number is from zero (always positive)

2. inequalities: >(greater than) or < (less than)

3. negative numbers: numbers that are on the left side of zero (the closer to zero a negative number is, the greater the number is in value) ex. -3>-5

Answer 1

Only B is definitely correct.

Reasoning by comparing temperatures (higher number = warmer):
- Macon: -10
- Warner Robins: 1
- Atlanta: -4
- Savannah: -8

A. False — Warner Robins (1°F) is the warmest, not the coldest.
B. True — Macon (-10) is colder than Atlanta (-4).
C. Not determinable / False — Savannah (-8) is warmer than Macon (-10) (that part is true), but the statement also says Savannah is colder than Coleville; Coleville’s temperature is not given, so you cannot conclude this.
D. False — Savannah (-8) is colder than Atlanta (-4).
E. False — The correct warmest-to-coldest order is Warner Robins, Atlanta, Savannah, Macon.

So only B is correct; the question’s instruction to "Select TWO" appears to be in error unless additional information (e.g., Coleville’s temperature) is provided.
