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."
