Compare temperatures: Compare the temperatures at the two times to determine when it was cooler.Temperature at 12:00 PM: 41∘CTemperature at 3:00 PM: 40∘CSince a lower temperature means it's cooler, we compare 41∘C and 40∘C.
Determine lower temperature: Determine which temperature is lower. 41\,^\circ\mathrm{C} > 40\,^\circ\mathrm{C}, so 40∘C is cooler.
