1. The problem asks us to determine which statement about the low temperatures in four Canadian cities is true based on the given data. 2. The temperatures are: - Fort Nelson: $-29^\circ F$ - Ottawa: $5^\circ F$ - Edmonton: $-18^\circ F$ - Whitehorse: $-33^\circ F$ 3. Let's analyze each statement: 4. Statement 1: "The low temperature in Edmonton was greater than the low temperature in Fort Nelson." - Compare $-18$ and $-29$. - Since $-18 > -29$, this statement is true. 5. Statement 2: "The low temperature in Ottawa was less than the low temperature in Edmonton." - Compare $5$ and $-18$. - Since $5 > -18$, this statement is false. 6. Statement 3: "The low temperature in Whitehorse was greater than the low temperature in Ottawa." - Compare $-33$ and $5$. - Since $-33 < 5$, this statement is false. 7. Statement 4: "The low temperature in Fort Nelson was less than the low temperature in Whitehorse." - Compare $-29$ and $-33$. - Since $-29 > -33$, this statement is false. 8. Therefore, the only true statement is: "The low temperature in Edmonton was greater than the low temperature in Fort Nelson."
