Answer:

[tex]-12 < -5 < -2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Temperature = \{-2, -5,-12\}[/tex]

Required

Represent as an inequality

On a number line:

-12 comes before -2 and -5

-5 comes before -2

This means that:

-12 is smaller than  -5 and -5 is smaller than -2.

So, we have:

[tex]-12 < -5[/tex] and [tex]-5 < -2[/tex]

Combine both inequalities

[tex]-12 < -5 < -2[/tex]
