∙ 11y agoUse the following rules:
1. Any negative number on a temperature scale is colder than any positive number on the same scale.
2. If both numbers are positive, the one with the lower absolute value is colder than the one with the higher absolute value.
3. If both numbers are negative, the number with the higher absolute value is colder than the one with lower absolute value.
In this instance, rule 3 applies; therefore, -2C is less cold than -24C.

How do you know whether to shade in the circle when putting inequalities on a number line?
If it is 'less than' or 'greater than' or 'not equal' then use an open circle.If it is 'less than or equal to' or 'greater than or equal' then use the shaded circle.
Is 43 mg bigger than 5g?
No 43 mg equals 0.043 g which is obviously less than 5 g.
How do you know when to use the less than symbol and when to use the less than or equal to symbol when writing an inequality for a situation?
It depends upon whether the inequality is strictly less than (<), or if it is less than or could be equal (≤). For example: if x < 6, x can have any value less than 6, but cannot have the value 6; but if x ≤ 6, x can have any value less than 6, but can also have the value 6. Or put another way, x = 6 is NOT a solution of x < 6, but IS a solution to x ≤ 6.
Is 0.05 less than 0.15?
Yes 0.05 is less than 0.15, I can't believe you didn't know that.
Is 0.09 greater than 0.8?
0.09 is less than 0.8
How how you know whether a fraction is less than 1 or greater than 1?
If the denominator is positive and the numerator is less than the denominator then the fraction is less than 1. If the denominator is positive and the numerator is greater than the denominator then the fraction is greater than 1.
What is less dense warm air or cold air?
Warm air is less dense (lighter) than cold air..that is why warm air rises and cold air settles

The density of warm water is less than that of cold water true or false?
True... warm water is less dense than cold water.
How do you know whether a substance has a greater density than water?
If it sinks in water then it has a higher density than water. If it floats on water surface then its density is less than water.
Is 43 mg bigger than 5g?
No 43 mg equals 0.043 g which is obviously less than 5 g.
Is very cold water more or less dense than less cold water?
Water is at its greatest density at 4 oC.
Which cold solid is less dense than the liquid when it melts?
Ice is a solid less dense than the liquid
How do you know whether to use an open circle or a closed circle when graphing an inequality?
If the inequality is > or< then it is an open circle. If it is greater than or equal to or less than or equal to, it is a closed circle.
Cold air is than warm air?
Cold air is more dense and less buoyant than warm air.
Is ice less dense than cold water?
Yes.
Is 100 microns more or less than 500 microns?
The answer depends on whether 100 is more or less than 500!
