Q. Mariana wears her winter coat when the temperature is colder than 4C -4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\newlineWrite an inequality that describes t t , temperatures at which Mariana wears her winter coat.\newline+=x +\stackrel{-x}{=}
  1. Temperature Condition: Mariana wears her winter coat when the temperature is colder than 4-4 degrees Celsius. To represent this condition with an inequality, we need to use a less than symbol (<<) because the temperatures at which she wears the coat are less than 4-4 degrees Celsius.
  2. Inequality Representation: The variable tt represents the temperature. Since Mariana wears her coat at temperatures colder than 4-4 degrees Celsius, the inequality will be t<4t < -4.
  3. Checking the Inequality: We should check the inequality to ensure it makes sense in the context of the problem. If tt is 5-5, which is colder than 4-4, Mariana would wear her coat, and 5<4-5 < -4 is a true statement. If tt is 3-3, which is warmer than 4-4, Mariana would not wear her coat, and 3<4-3 < -4 is a false statement. This confirms that our inequality is correct.
